Which gain more favor with you, “thank you”, or “please”?
I guess if you need more tea leaves to understand, for a person to move you to action, or get additional favors, does “please” or “thank you” act more as a catalyst?

Both are part of good manners, no favortism, they each are important to good manners.
If they’re asking me to do something, please is a good start. They don’t need to thank me until I’ve agreed or completed the required task. As @Coloma says, both are just good manner.
In the circumstance you described, thank you. I’m fine if they don’t say please, but if it’s something big enough, I would definitely like a thank you.
