As for this scenario, its just a personal opinion of mine but I think Hirofumi would rank higher in his mind. Katsuto has clashed with Koichi before, and from whats given of Koichi's character he likes to manipulate and control, and he would do neither with Katsuto. I have no doubt that he would have more respect for Katsuto, but it would count as a negative in this. It's a political marriage after all, its only for gain.

That said, I think Mayumi and Katsuto would make a better couple. Hirofumi is, well, unimpressive to put it mildly.

Yes in that quote means Katsuto is more difficult to manipulate because Katsuto has much Higher Tolerance.
That's why Koichi choose Hirofumi.
