Well, neither of them is any great prize. I was just glad to finish up the alliance stuff and drop them off so I could get RFS-81 back in the party. You may feel differently, of course.
Dunno if you can get into the good graces of the Templars again if you get the prisoners early. Initially, the templars are neutral, but wrecking the camp turns them hostile. I don't know of any way offhand to bring the rating back up to neutral. And they have to be at least neutral for you to join up.
I'd suggest becoming a templar before the rescue to avoid a lot of problems and extra fights.
