I would always diffuse for the worst case. If one of the people has smooth skin, diffusion won't hurt their look (smooth is smooth). Not diffusing will hurt the other one. I normally don't like soft-focus effects, so when I was doing portraits I'd diffuse just enough to take the edges off, not enough to obliterate the lines. My clients seemed to like the results.
