Ooh this is good. Well certainly the one delegating the SP out will have less risk, and may certainly come out ahead if flagging is involved. The self vote is worth more though, if nobody flags. (By a factor of about 2, depending on bot specifics).

If you ask me, I would prefer the second whale, because it spreads out the wealth more. Still I'm sure people are not happy with that due to being anti bot in the first place, but in the end I find the opposition to be always about the misappropriated values on the posts. Well that and the whale just pocketing lots of cash for the service, but compared to the self vote, still strictly better.

There are also ways to counter the second whale by targeting the delegated services, but that's admittedly much harder to handle.
