Using the highest level item you can select per hour is generally worth more exp.

I use them when I know I won't be back on for a while

there are also a couple minions you can get from higher level 18 hour ventures

Assuming you can play every hour, sure. 18hr ventures are generally worth about 4x the 60m ones, so if you play one six-hour block a day you can do one overnight and five hourlies (about 9x total), with the other hour used as wiggle room. You'd have to play nine hours a day to beat that. People with jobs generally don't have that option.

I just recently had to fire a retainer because he was drinking and got into Chocobo fighting

My retainers bring back chimerical felts, Aurum Regis Nuggets and Adamantite Nugget from their 18 hours ventures.

Yeah same. I don't think I have ever gotten something as lame as a block of butter since my low levels except on the 1 hour ventures.

In truth the main value I find in my retainers it gathering crafting mats so I don't have to grind monsters myself.
