What weapon have you been leveling up for your main characters, and why? The weapon of choice says a lot of things about your play style and how you're using the characters (or about how apathetic you are).
For Hope I have the Hawkeye, which is currently starred at stage 2 (named something else, obviously -- Eagleton, I think). I like it's high magic stat, which is all Hope uses. I think the Vidofnir was a decent alternative, but it's a ~200 or so magic stat difference in the end.
For Fang, I use her Taming Pole, which I only recently found. It has Stagger Lock, but I'm not concerned because she's usually a Commando anyway (though I did teach her Fire so I could use Rav/Rav/Rav to build up stagger, which I can still do). I use her for debuffs, so I like the good magic stat as well. It's also starred on the second stage (Venus Gospel).
For Lightning, I'm waiting on the Lionheart for the stagger bonus. Currently I use the Gladius, which was a mistake (she was primarily a Commando until Fang came along), but I'm not wasting the gil on a second temporary weapon.
