You aren't choosing whether to risk your hero. You are using extremely gamey tactics to make sure that your most valuable units always act Last, and are the only ones to kill any other units so as to maximize your experience. If experience was granted for damage dealt, then you would at least have to fight lots to gain levels. If it was granted for some kind of spellcasting, then your casting heroes would be more useful as well.
