Stats max out at...225? Best way to get there is to equip Yuffie with her Conformer with Morph materia and morph monsters in the underwater Gelinka for sources.

Best area to level up is inside the North Crater, take the left path, and there's an area in there that you can fight Magic Pots(Enemy Lure materia helps a lot). Give them all an elixir and then kill them and you'll get 1000 AP a pop(W-Item materia is reccomended).

Second-best area to level up for AP is Mideel forest. Good place to go if you're not strong enough to take on all the monsters to wander around the Crater for hours at a time.
