Let me explain what the listener think when each replies are made.

Scenario 1
いいよ (ii yo) - Fine. : why he is so friendly?
いいだろう。 Fine. : He is not afraid of me
大丈夫 (daijoubu) Okay. ??? Does he agree with me or not?
はい  (hai) Yes. : He is soooo tame.
するよ! (suru yo) I'll do it! Why he is so happy?
(I think usually Japanese will say nothing in this case)

Scenario 2
いいよ (ii yo) - Fine. : He is a good guy.
いいだろう。 Fine. : He is so arrogant
大丈夫 (daijoubu) Okay. Does he agree with me? or ignore me? I must ask again.
はい  (hai) Yes. : He is too tame.
するよ! (suru yo) I'll do it! : OK, he is happy t do it.
今回だけな (KON'KAI DAKE NA:Only This time(never do it again)) : hmmm.
