The choice of companions agrees with her utilitarian outlook and Carver gained precedence over their mother's wishes. Anders was excluded. She made her calculation of the greatest pleasure for the persons concerned with fatal consequences.
Anders lives an ethics of value. He wants to be a good man and an example to follow. He works as healer and offered his companionship in the Deep Roads out of benevolence. She will soon grasp this (or Aveline will tell her). She saw Anders has courage in the quest 'Shepherding wolves', but that is a non-moral virtue (it reinforces the other virtues or faults), since an assassin can be courageous. Utilitarianism does not recognize virtue and utimately Adela's moral outlook is demonstrated as a failure.
"Virtue: there was no original desire of it, or motive to it, save its conduciveness to pleasure, and especially to protection from pain. It results from the preceding considerations, that there is in reality nothing desired except happiness." John Stuart Mill, Utilitarianism, c. 4
