Raven at least did what she did to preserve the tribe, Ilia just did it because she thought it was the right thing to do. I disagree, Ilia showed signs of doubt and regrets after meeting with the Albain brothers, during her conversation with Blake and at the Belladona's house and even said that she didn't like hurting people while Raven killed a girl that trusted and cared for her in order to get her powers, abandonned her family and nearly sacrificied her own brother and daughter after implying to Qrow that she may have never cared for him as family and killed a lot of innocent people without a hint of regret or remorse. 1. We have no evidence Spring cared for Raven, only that Raven was in her last thoughts, the girl ran from a possibly dangerous situation with Leo, and could not defend herself/be trained, mercy though it may not have been, she likely would have died anyways had Raven abandoned her, and killed Raven's own people had she lived(by either accident OR discovery, or even caused an internal power struggle as a Bandit like Vernal killed her for the power themselves, then challenged Raven for leadership).

2. She implied that to Qrow while in combat with him holding back her powers, after he had abandoned HER, just because their mission was one worthy of abandoning doesn't mean he didn't abandon it while she stayed "on mission". Cinder and Yang's comments implied that Spring really trusted and cared for Raven, only to be betrayed and killed by the woman that she trusted.

And Raven was the one who abandonned Qrow first by leaving her teamates and the family she founded with Taiyang.
