First things first. It is a great thing to do. I'm still a red fish but I am also trying to give someback to the community.
I do think that it all depends why you want to delegate. The answer to this question only could be answered by you.
I personally would go for 3 delegations for 1 or 2 weeks, that is the only way it really can make an impact. Ideally 2 weeks. Cause if you do take one week and the are battling with their Steem Power, it would be some kind of useless gift :(
I would go for people, regardless of reputation, but maybe take some SP requirement in mind, who are trying to interact with other Steemains, who are continuously trying to interact with others (the ones they know already but even as important, the ones they don't know yet). Interaction is one of the most forgotten key elements to the Steem ecosystem.
People are just upvoting posts without reading it. People are writing post without looking after the comment they are receiving. People are commenting on posts without taking the effort to read other comments on the post, and I can continue with more and more examples. Wrote a post about this today and I am still in rant mode I guess, sorry for that.
By giving the power to such people, you can ensure that it would end up at different places in the eco system. They people who write post and try to reward genuine comment of their post, hence encouraging interaction, they would read posts of people who they are following, upvote and write genuine comments (again encouraging interaction), to would try to find posts from people they don't know by just browsing through the new tag, hence encouraging interaction.
I guess that by now you do get the picture, it should be all about encouraging "genuine" interaction. Steemit needs 2 types of genuine people, the one who are great authors of unique and genuine content, by which they do offer a interaction platform for the second type. The brilliant commenters, who could write better comments than the original post itself. Both are open for interaction and that is what the key value of Steem and all their witnesses should be.
Just my 2 cents.
Good luck with choosing the correct distribution of the power and finding the correct people for it! If you like my approach, I guess you know where to find me! :)

Yeah, I try to reply to comments within 1-2 days, sometimes the same day. This post had so many comments and long comments that I put it off for a while :/
Encouraging content I value and those that interact is important, I agree. Thanks for the feedback.
Better a late reply than no reply at all!
Thx for taking the time to read the long comment! Sorry was on a role! Will shorten the next ones :)
