It does depend on your preferences.
With really good melds, the main hand will be a very small upgrade but with a loss of 5 CP.
So if your tools are penta melded, I wouldn't use the yellow scrip tools, since 5 CP is worth having compared to a small bonus to craftsmanship / control.
And a well penta melded chest will exceed the yellow scrip version, so once again it depends on how far you want to take the melding.
If you want to achieve higher stats, I believe it would be worthwhile to meld everything (You don't have to go crazy and pentameld, stick to Grade IVs mostly).
If you want all 8 crafter sets, you're looking at crafting 500 or so collectables. Now 500 of those isn't going to be too cheap, so at that point, I would just meld instead. You can just leave the tools alone except for a 5 cp meld.
I wouldn't expect the 2 star requirements to be any more than 1250 craftsmanship and 1200 control. You can also use food if needed.
MH tools only...unless you are made of Armory space and/or just craft to look cool and don't care about stats (or are cheap/lazy and refuse to meld.) And if you are going for max CP, skip the MH tools too.
Everything is useless apart from MH. I guess this is for people with no money to pentameld materia.
But I think the amount of yellow scrips required is a bit too much.
That's the cost of removing a weekly cap, it's a give and take. Cost more, but you aren't limited to a weekly limit, so you can either get it all done in a week, or take your time over the next few months. If SE is playing off the idea of how it was in 3.0, odds are they want it to take at least a month or two to fully gear up.
