There's a two-sided problem here.

Fellow religious are more likely to be reliable people, but recruiting them has the downside that if they say "no" and go to the authorities (conventual authorities, but still) they are likely to be believed that this lady's gone crazy and is up to something bad.

People from the underworld won't be believed, but they're also unlikely to be reliable.

If there's time for the recruitment to be a gradual process, then slowly corrupting reliable people (such that by the time they have something damaging to say they're already complicit in it) is probably the better bet.
