i usually train until 31 now.. but those levels are easy.. one question though.. why barret? not cid or redXIII?
At lower levels Barret has extremely good vitality and really good attack stats. It's always great to equip him with cover materia, and if you have it at that stage (I forgot), counter attack.

Anyway, after you get out of there, I suggest leveling up a bit (not only for levels, but for materia growth). Not too much if you want a challenge in the game, but seriously it doesn't take long (I think it only took me around 2 hours to get to level 55 before the end of disc 1, and heaps of mastered materia).
