Alright, I got this ST-Def-Junction right now:

1. PAIN (Poison, Darkness and Silence in one!)
2. SLEEP (Sleep was always a harmless spell, but still very irritating)
3. BERSERK (yeah-yeah, your attacks become kickass, but you lose control)
4. CONFUSE (worst status ever, I hate this one)

Hm, can I add anything or improve this in some way?
Are there any more multi-protection magics besides Pain?
The above-mentioned Junction is the best I can come up with.

And no, I don't care about Esuna, because although it defends against lots of things, its defense rate is only 20% per stat, and that ain't enough.

Triple Magic is cool.
Apocalypse is the second best magic after Ultima.
You have to use gameshark to use it on the game.

No, you've got the best junction. If you're battling on the Esthar continent you might want to substitute sleep for Death

Pain also protects against Curse, doesn't it?

Berserk, Confuse, Pain, and Sleep are probably as good as you'll get. I've been trying to devise a way to make Rinoa's Angel Wing work for me in preventing statuses when fighting malboros, but she kills them before the Doom counter runs out (if squall and quistis are Casting demi), so since she's got devour it's no good because she's dead xD

You definitely want to consider having one person with Death protection and another with Break if you're going to be fighting Toramas or Blue Dragons or similar.

The main three you want are

Pain (Poison, Blind, Silence and Curse)
Berserk
Confuse

You can then choose between Break, Sleep, Death or Stop for the final slot, depending on the most common enemies you are fighting at the time.

However, if you're looking for all-purpose status protection, Esuna, Reflect, Holy and Pain covers pretty much everything to some degree.
