From what I've seen it doesn't appear to make all that much difference to the game whoever you give them to. I've done both officers first as well as deckpigs first and can't say I've noticed much difference in performance either way.
One thing that does happen is that they guys with the medals tend to get less fatigued as quickly, but given good crew management this shouldn't be too much of an issue unless you are in a big fight and then medals or no, everybody crashes eventually.
