From the information available,
The principle that best argues in favour of casting a ringer is "Theatre troupes often deliver exceptional performances when they cast professional actors.", since the stated goal is that they want to make a good impression and casting a ringer gives them that.
The principle that best argues in favour of casting from the troupe is "An organization should not alter regular practices unless they have failed to produce results.", since they are already giving good performances, which is their goal casting a ringer is not warranted unless they have failed to give a good performance.

Troupe’s managers are eager to make a good impression.
We need to select best principle about why manager should cast ringer or someone from regular member.
Let's look at prinicples one by one.
1. Any actor would be eager to play a lead role at a festival this prestigious.
Hmm. This doesn't give any info about why we should cast a ringer or someone from regular member. Eliminate
2. An organization should not alter regular practices unless they have failed to produce results.
This principle provides support about why manager should hire regular member of theatre troupe. They are performing at prestigious event and there is no mention of failure. Then they can hire member of theatre troupe. Keep it for regular member of theatre trouper.
3. A theatre troupe should cast actors with the most experience in stage acting in lead roles.
This provides support for hiring a ringer. Stem mentions that ringer is someone with experience in stage and film. Question stem also mention that it is a amateur theatre troupe. So, I'm assuming less experience. We should Keep it for ringer.
4. In casting any role, a theatre troupe must take care not to alienate its members.
This does provide a weak support for why hiring a regular member is good idea. But question stem does not provide information about if members are happy with decision or not. Maybe they want best for their theatre troupe. And principle-2 provides stronger support for hiring regular member. So, we should eliminate it.
5. Theatre troupes often deliver exceptional performances when they cast professional actors.
Ok. I can see how it will help ringer. But they are already performing good. So, comparing it with principle-3, I think we can eliminate it just because principle-3 provide more support on why to hire a ringer.
Final answer-
Principle-3 for ringer and Principle-2 for regular member.

For Ringer (Professional Actor):
1. Any actor would be eager to play a lead role at a festival this prestigious.
This option highlights the attractiveness of the role to professional actors but doesn't directly address the principle of whether to cast a professional actor.
2. A theatre troupe should cast actors with the most experience in stage acting in lead roles.
This option supports casting a professional actor, but doesn't talk about leading to better performance
3. Theatre troupes often deliver exceptional performances when they cast professional actors.
This option supports the idea that casting a professional actor can lead to a better performance.
For "Cast from the Troupe" (Regular Members):
1. An organization should not alter regular practices unless they have failed to produce results.
This principle is more general and doesn't specifically address the unique dynamics of a theatre troupe. It suggests maintaining the status quo but does not directly address the potential impact on the troupe's members
2. In casting any role, a theatre troupe must take care not to alienate its members.
This principle is more specific to the context of a theatre troupe and directly addresses the potential negative impact on the troupe's members if an external actor is brought in. It emphasizes the importance of internal cohesion and morale
Final Solution:
• Ringer: Theatre troupes often deliver exceptional performances when they cast professional actors.
• Cast from the troupe: In casting any role, a theatre troupe must take care not to alienate its members.
