I don't think you could consider it an 'advantage'. One technique sends help requests to 20 (can't remember the actual number) random active players, the other technique sends help requests to the same number of active players, but favours active allies.

The latter is only an advantage if your friends list a hard-hitters and actively playing at the same time as you.
