Slightly suggestive, but could point to any of Ben's cohorts.

Surely not. Ben is extremely fastidious as his beautifully tailored clothes
and elegant surroundings show. Also, Ben considers himself a leader
of the community and has a great deal of pride. Ben is willing to employ
Leo as a tool for his purposes but I doubt if he would even sit in the
same room with Jacques. My impression is that he wouldn't socialize with either.

This is a very good point.  This could definitely be seen as evidence
that Bob has another and better host and views Leland as expendable.

Sure, why not?
Although personally I can't see why he would kill Harold and I think
that Cooper's x partner shot him as a joke.
And I think the One-Armed Man was driven by his own personal demons.
