Which job is the best/easiest for Glamour Prisms?

Simple enough question, I hope; which crafting job do you guys find the easiest to make Glamour Prisms with? Like, I know that every job gets the ability to create Prisms at level 15; which I was wanting to know is, which job do you guys find to be the most convenient in terms of material usage and such? Which materials do you find the easiest to stockpile, basically?

Grand Company Seals.
No, really.

For actually crafting them, its a tie between CRP and GSM. Every prism recipe calls for 2 of the same fairly basic crafted items that the class in question makes plus a clear prism. What gives CRP and GSM the advantage is that their recipes only use 1 ingredient - walnut logs to make walnut lumber, or silver ore to make silver ingots. Both walnuts and silver come from south shroud, so convenience there is also tied. The other 5 classes recipes all either use more then 1 ingredient(iron ore and bomb ash to make steel for BSM), use an extra step(turning steel ingots into steel rivets for ARM), involve drops as well as gathered items(toad skin and alumen for LTW), or needs drops AND an extra step(diremite webs and turning cotton bolls into cotton yarn for WVR and blue landtrap leaves plus rocksalt and turning cinnabar into quicksilver for ALC). In many of these cases you can find vendors who sell some or all of the mats, but this often puts the price to craft higher then the price to just buy on the market(and many of the vendors require you to unlock them by doing tribal quests too).

but also CRP and GSM for the easy harvests / combines

Weaver has the cheapest easy buy option, with the velveteen available from the Sylph vendor. Alchemist would technically be cheaper, but requires stopping at multiple vendors, plus requires an extra crafting step. Goldsmith is the absolute cheapest, but still gotta get your hands on the ore, and still have that extra crafting step. Carpenter is a decent alternative to Weaver, with the lumber available from the Ixal vendor.

With all that in mind, I would probably declare CRP the absolute best. Second cheapest option to directly buy the needed materials without additional crafting step if you want to be quick and dirty, with the option to easily gather the materials if you want to be totally frugal.
