I usually switch up teams to keep leveling different people etc, but if I was gonna pick my favs I'd pick Garnet, Zidane (cuz most of the time you have to), Steiner, and after that its a hard choice, I would pick Vivi, and I do use Vivi a lot, but when it comes to who I prefer more in combat I'd go with Freya, she casts the auto regen spell, plus she had Dragon Crest, hey I know Vivi's great with auto reflect but... You can't heal or buff your characters... Which sucks and makes white magic useless, so without these strategy's Vivi's reduced to summoning meteors... That's why I'd pick either Freya or Armarant cuz they have solid attack power, but with frog drop Quina's not so bad but.... I'm just not a huge fan of Quina...

Anyways on a side note I loved Chrono Cross for party management, so many awesome characters....

Sorry to say but Eiko's summons don't have the damage potential that the lovely Garnets does. However Eiko is awesome for setting up a full party reflect with Carbuncle which can greatly strengthen Vivi's spells. Not to mention if you have 99 Phoenix Pinions in your inventory there is a 38% chance that your party will be revived when they all die. Her Madeen summon can deal consistent 9999 damage for the most part.

By the way Vivi's Flare has more power than Meteor so if you have Reflectx2 then cast Flare on himself it will always bounce off and hit the enemy for 9999 damage. The ara tactic I mentioned earlier is also great for making Vivi a cheap 9999 damage dealer.
