Are either of these guys worth spending (more!) donuts?
Just get one off the PCs already available. The hippe and the garbage man are not really worth it. Halloween is coming up so there should be something cool to get too.

It'll all depend on how far away you are from getting 'em, as the donuts are based on "buying" the remaining event currency. (I think it's something like 5 donuts per 300 currency)
IMO, in order of usefulness:
1. Rail Yard w/ Sebastian Cobb
Purely 'cos the Rail Yard will enable you to create tracks post-Event. It also has +5 donuts each week for getting the top set of tracks (70k blueprints per week).
2. Uriah's Heap w/ Hippie
He can recycle any of metal, plastic or glass (albeit at "freemium" rate, 10 material per task). Dunno what his non-event tasks look like, but if you need help with materials he's a better bet than Ray. Also comes with a building (again, unlike Ray).
3. Ray Patterson
He can only collect trash, the easiest thing to max out on (as well as something that a further 7 freemium people can do!!). His visual tasks are OK, but he's not worthwhile if it's a high donut price. Doesn't come with a building, unlike the other 2 prizes.
Edit: Just remember that the event ends with an App Store update. You can usually string out an extra day or 2 of collecting before you're forced to download the App update (& then the in-game update).
It's a game of chicken, though, as being forced to update could come at any time. So push as hard as you can for the Rail Yard, then snap it up for donuts (if need be) before that kicks in & locks you out from the Event.
