In most general cases you're right: since a monster with 1 health can do
everything that one with full health can, the only way to reduce the
immediate threat is to reduce the number of things currently attacking.
Hence, usually, removing the ones that die fastest first.

There are of course monsters and situations which violate this, such as
freely-roaming archviles or pain elementals.

However, assuming no other threats around, in the situation of exactly
one baron and one hellknight, I personally would just circlestrafe round
the pair of them, firing at whichever one was nearer, until they are
both dead. Provided there is the room to do this, both are slow, and
have easily dodgeable attacks, so it doesn't matter so much which dies
first.
