Would you have a number one driver if you were an F1 team boss?

Absolutely. I still believe that McLaren made a mistake in 2007 by not naming 2 X WDC Fernando Alonso their #1 driver before the first race and backing him all the way. He could have won his 3rd consecutive title for McLaren. Ron Dennis appeared to be infatuated with young Lewis Hamilton. But no one could know before the season how good Hamilton could be.

It depends on what the team's objective is - If the drivers' title is the goal, it is far easier to have a clear No1 (like Red Bull). But if the target is to improve, having two equal drivers is crucial as you are not then relying on one to bring home the points (like Alpine)

I'd make a decision at the summer break, if a driver was clearly more superior, focus would have to go on them. If it's more neck and neck, then equality would have to be the way to go
