It wouldn't be unreasonable to say that a godi serves an aspect or a god rather than a subcult. After all, no one assumes that to initiate (or sacrifice) to Heler you'd have to find a godar for The Blue Ram, the Black Ram, the Fighting Storm, etc. Nor do we necessarily assume that a godi of Orlanth Thunderous the Fighting Storm (whose name I forget) could serve as a godi of Heler, just because the two deities share a subcult. The question remains if godi of a great god worship the whole god or an aspect....
Whether one is a godi or not doesn't affect what affinities or feats you get anyway. That is covered by whether you're an initiate or devotee and of whom. A godi and a farmer who worship Durev have the same affinities but different "skills."
