upgrade method must be the same for all passengers on a common PNR -- otherwise you will need to split - no mixing.

should be none other than time of request ranking(assuming all have the same fare class -- which if first a common PNR would be true)

as paid bookings, other than a corner case of the desire fare class no having enough space to booking all at the same time, there is probably little difference. Might be a minor advantage to having once had a common PNR in some irrops but only if you get the agent to look.
