Just if you were in doubt, if you were already friendly with Sidor and the stalkers in Rookie Village (green icons on the map), choosing to side with the Traders will NOT change this. Next time you return to Sidor, he will just say you got balls for coming back after botching the job, and that he's not one for letting grudges get in the way of business, and you can still trade with him and take his other jobs if any.
