Expert. That's what I was raised on.

For the powergamer, standard has more nodes.
So standard, because I always dream of having more time than sense.
The expert grid has enough stats to always crit for 99999 and always evade every attack from every enemy in the game, and 9999 hp is sufficient to survive any attack with other stats maxed. Not needing to use break hp/mp limit auto abilities allows you to get other auto abilities that ultimately are just as good, or better. break MP limit is of course redundant because both yuna and lulu get one mp cost on their ultimate weapons anyway, allowing 999 casts for yuna and 499 for lulu due to her magic booster passive.
So, the expert grid is, as the name implies, for the true experts of the game.

I went for expert, mostly because I never beat the PS2 version on it. Also not sure if my party was overpowered for a bit or if expert just has more of damage boosting nodes on it.

untouched, they are about the same, but you can switch paths more easily i hear, grabbing more str nodes on characters that aren't meant to have a lot of strength. The main difference comes in flexibility in who you want to make into what, and the total stats you can get after erasing every node that isn't +4 to a stat and turning it into a +4 stat node.

ah so I was just a little overpowered for a little bit. I blame that on going back as far as the top of mi'hen high road after Ject spheres then changing my mind. after all 4K damage a hit against seymor in the first fight is a bit over powered.

I don't . You might, though.

Expert pretty much everytime since my second playthrough. I like to "jack of all trades" Kimahri and later on Yuna, though it's easy to take a wrong turn.

Expert, without a doubt. It seems to the point that if someone really loves X you know they had Expert as an option and those who really hate it didn't.
When playing through on the PS2 version I'd use Expert Grid. But this time on PS3 I just went with Standard Grid, and I was still way over powered without grinding at all... Not really interested in Dark Aeons and Penance though.
"... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."
I use Expert and then baulk at the flexibility and tend to follow mostly linear paths. I duck off on occasion but there is just so much freedom and I don't want to break my characters D:
