I've Noticed Something
So one piece of advice that a lot of people follow when they play survivor is this:
"Whoever has the least amount of times they have been hooked should go for the save."
If we follow this advice, then the people who have been hooked more than others would repair generators instead of saving.
However, I have been noticing a lot more often that sitting on a generator makes you an easier target for the killer since they need to prevent their completion. This can cause survivors who may have already been hooked to become the target again rather than spreading out the pressure among the survivors evenly if they follow the common piece of advice shown above.
I personally have noticed that whoever goes for an unhook has a less likely chance of being spotted whereas people who stay on generators are more likely to be spotted. Has anyone else noticed this in their games?

I think it's situational.
If the killer is proxy-camping, the one with the least hook should attempt the save. If the killer is patrolling gens, leaving the survivors with the least amount of hooks on a close by gen is preferred if they can run chase well. That said, it's really only something a coordinated SWF can plan or call out. SoloQ has to rely on luck for that to align.

Also agree on situational.
If someone has unhooking perks, like We'll Make It, that takes priority.
If the killer has teleported or otherwise clearly gotten away from the hook, well going to rescue might be the safest thing that can be done. This somewhat agrees with your idea that staying on gens might be far more dangerous.
Also sometimes the highest hook count just happens to be close while the other survivors are on the other side of the map.

it depends, heavily, on how the killer plays. most killers go back to hook because generally not doing so is a free reset for survivors and means the killer would need to find another target by themselves.
it also depends on the generator's location. you can kind of tell when a killer likes a specific gen and attacking that as a vulnerable survivor might not be the best idea. there is no definitive "right play" at all times in dbd i feel like, which makes decision making skills more valuable.
