Look you're entitled to have one main favorite you push heavily. I do this for Seymour, every contest, everyone knows I do. All my other votes are for strong contenders almost always, or they are done via trade.
Seymour will eventually go out, but I have kept several strong other favorites alive to fall back on once it happens. I also don't present myself as "the FFX general" and then save other characters instead. I am just me.
