As we all know, your party leader is the most important part of your party as if your party leader dies it's game over, and you can only use special abilities of the character that is your party leader. Every character also has a different summon as well. So who do you usually go with?

I used Lightning for the entire story part of the game. After I beat the game and needed to farm Adamantoise, I started using Vanille for her Death spell. My current party leader is Fang, however. As she can put out some amazing damage with genji gloves+highwind. It really makes things a lot easier to be able to use highwind endgame. As far as I know, she's the best damage dealer. She also has pretty good hp.

Do any of you find that you base making your party leader around what class you want to choose commands for? I don't really like maining as a SEN unless I have to because I hate having to challenge things seperately whereas support party members will challenge every mob without it being a hassle.
