Also why not just put only Scott's allies on the list instead of having every supernatural being in Beacon Hills/county be on it because it would get done a lot quicker than this.

Because then Scott either looks like the Benefactor, or a target that the Benefactor is saving for themselves. It would just be too suspicious to exclude him. But, as I said, Scott has a Sookie Stackhouse like tendency to survive while those around him get killed. If the Benefactor can count on Scott's usual knack for staying alive, it is safe to have him on the list because. Especially since even very smart assassins will know that killing Scott last is the best tactic, as the key to nailing him is eliminating all of his allies first.
