Welcome to SH3 and SubSim! Glad you're enjoying your first career!
Personally I tried to spread out the medals I was given. For instance if we had a patrol where say Flak gunning came into play a lot, I might give the award to my flak gunner. If I had to really push my engines to get ahead of a convoy I'd probably give it to my petty officer in the Engines.
