NorthWest - I keep checking on what "makes a difference" in terms of conquoring a quest on the first try in a room and watching the collection gifts when I charge later. Two things that keep recurring for me:

1) I find I get the Quest piece on the first or second try if I grab a floating friend rather than try to select one that matches the room charge or hiring one from the friend menu.

I thought at first I got lucky by matching the friend with the correct power to match the room. But after two days of writing down quest conquors I won far more quickly by sticking to hiring the floating friends. Guessing about 75% of the time I won the Quest item on the first try - for Quests that did not require I wait for a specific anomoly.

and

2) I only receive collection gifts at the time of charging from hired friends that help me either win a quest or complete the room in time (but not get a Quest piece).

I also noted that I ALWAYS got a gift from my lowest level players if I won a quest. They have little to no experience (less than level 30 players), they may not be the power that matches the room at the time I win in it, but they still give a gift every time. AND often more than one gift. I think that by just grabbing whomever is floating by I likely grab the same player more than once. But I thought it interesting that the lower the Level hired the more likely I got a gift during the charging their maps session. As for winning the rooms in the first place AND being given the Quest piece I found NO difference when I hired a Red Star Ranger. In fact, I lost more times when I grabbed a Red Ranger to play a room charged by a Ranger....which is strange. I really think the 5% improvement of chances is poop. Unless I am missing something.
