Home game playing .50/1 with typical loose play, very gambley table.
V1 - very loose/passive pre, still plays pretty loose post-flop but not as passive. Donk bets when he hits a hand. Will call with draws without proper odds. Pretty stationy but can fold in obvious situations. On his second bullet $200
V2 - very loose pre, willing to bluff entire stack. Not good at hand reading, doesn't seem to understand board texture's effect on his hand strength. Calling station. Will chase draws. Bets aggressively. Just won a monster pot with Jacks full for about 900BB's.
Hero - legit TAG image, comparatively nitty compared to the table. Pretty card-dead, only showdowns were AA and a Q6o button raise that hit top pair OTF and got two streets of value in and held up. $300

V1 ($132.50 behind) usually would have donked with a flush. V1 will always call with a heart draw if I flat. Slight to moderate chance he calls with Khx if I jam. I know V2 can be bluffing, overvaluing Ax, or have hit a flush.
Merits for jamming: I charge the maximum on all heart draws, and V2 will stack off with worse here. Downside: flushes are absolutely in V2's range and he will fold to a jam if he is bluffing, but will barrel if checked to on the river.
Merits for flatting: I know V1 will stay in the hand with flush draws. V2 will frequently call or barrel the river if he is bluffing or has a worse Ax. I will have $180~ behind in a pot with over $350 in it and V2 will call with anything. Downside is I don't charge draws and V1 will give up the river if he misses so I'll miss out on ~$80 in value from him.
