Why is it acceptable for BLM B to pick a subpar skill?


Answer: Because they can both clear the content just fine.
And to elaborate, in good choice systems, BLM B's rotation might be more forgiving, or they might provide additional utility to the party in some way. This is analogous to the differences between DRG and MNK, the former of which does less personal DPS but has greater raid utility.
