Which Machop to evolve?

So here I have 2 L28 Machops waiting to evolve. I have 5 Machamps currently and I want to have a 6 Machamp team to battle Dialga. I have 313 Machop candies.
1. CP 994 14A/14D/9S
2. CP 992 12A/13D/15S
3. Or I could evolve both...One of my L33 Machamp has a pitiful 5 Atk IV and I don't want to use it.

If you're hurting for Machamps, just evolve them both and bring'em both up a few levels. Will be fine.

All things equal, your L33/5A Machamp does the same damage as a L28/14A will. Do you have enough TMs to adjust your newly evolved Machamp(s)? When I faced the same decision that you are making, I opted not to evolve Machop because I have a good Hariyama, and dealt some good damage yesterday with 5 Machamp and 1 Hariyama.

The level 33 Machamp with 5A will be a lot tankier than the level 28 Machamp with 14A. My maxed Machamps are able to survive a Draco Meteor from Dialga with just a little health left, allowing them to use the energy gained to fire off one more Dynamic Punch before fainting.

Both are mediocre. Do more Machamp solos or use your Groudon instead.

I have not tried out my Machamp solo team yet...though I already have a 93iv Machamp from a raid. Besides, my friends usually raid with me, and they want to raid Dialga wherever possible because of XP gains.

Both are decent enough. if you're facing dracometer you can get through 10 or more even in a reasonable sized group. Don't forget you'll often need 3-5 charged TMs per Machamp to get dynamic punch.

I would pick one of the two machop and have an even 6 DP Machamp, then a B squad with a few hariyama. Most times you need help from the B and DP hariyama is also very good.

Use the breakpoint calculator to help compare the IVs. With 15a and best friends, the last breakpoint for Counter is reached by level 31. Making sure that most of your Machamp can reach that breakpoint will be a lot of help.
