I've been going back and forth between what I want my set-up to be. Fang and Sazh seem like easy choices for Slow and Haste, but I haven't found a party with them that I'm actually happy with yet.
I just got to the grinding point that Victoria mentioned, and it's definitely worth a few runs. Winning the fight gives you a full TP, for starters, and if you get a pre-emptive strike (I'd say about 70% of mine were) one Quake will kill all the slug dudes. 5 seconds for 640 CP? Yes please.
I have Lightning and Vanille using tier-2 weapons now, and Hope's tier-1 is maxed. I just need to save up the gil to buy the catalyst for his Hawkeye. For people looking to upgrade their weapons easily, 36 Vibrant Oozes (2,880 gil) will cap a weapon's XP bonus (x3) then you just save up to dump a bunch of better items on it. I've been using Passive Detectors. There might be something that works better, though. Spending 20,000 gil (not a whole lot, really) Hope's Hawkeye went from lvl 4 to capped in one shot.
