Took a closer look at Isabeli, Akari, and Marlena's info pages.

I'd say evolving Akari to S+ is more important than S+ Isabeli, so concentrate on that. Akari's boost goes from 20% to 30% while Isabeli's boost won't go any higher.

Assuming you have vanilla S Akari vs Marlena +3, Marlena is slightly better because she'll provide +100 atk to the team and has a semi-fast emblem shuffle. Their atk stats are pretty much identical.

However, S Akari +2 is better than Marlena +3. Marlena's emblem shuffle is 4 TTC while Coffy and Arle have 6 TTC fire emblems, so it just depends on how much you like the shuffle. Akari's first two hipos give you +100 team atk and a panel up, which also makes Akari's atk slightly higher than Marlena's. But Akari's SS will be to slow for R15 until you have a fully unlocked SS Akari (although you probably don't even need it for R15).

In my opinion, I'd unlock the first two hipos on Akari and concentrate on evolving her. She'll be slightly better than Marlena for R15, and is a better spirit in the long run.
