Even if the 2.4 GHz splitter has insertion loss of 4 dB and the 1 GHz
splitter's loss is only 3.5dB?

At what frequency? 4 dB across all frequencies?

If it was at all frequencies, then I would reconsider, if I knew for sure
that the 1 GHz splitter would work, and that a 2 GHz splitter would never be
needed in the future (this was an attic installation and didn't want to have
to go back up there in the future) then I would get the 1 GHz splitter.

    ... If most of the the cable loss is due to I^2R, how can one explain that the foam versions of common coaxial cables show a much lower loss than versions having solid PE insulation? ... Another trap for the unwary, when comparing coax losses, has to do with skin effect and the thickness of the copper or silver cladding on the center conductor. ... You could have an air insulated coax with silver plated over stainless steel where the loss is actually greater at low frequencies than higher, because the skin depth is greater at low frequencies and the current is flowing mostly in the SS, rather than the copper. ... A long time ago, we found this out at work when trying to find drop cables and miniature cables which we could be used as simulations of large-diameter, low-loss CATV trunk cables. ...
