Optimal Materia for Paladin?

[IntrovertAnt]

The argument is commonly made that a higher tenacity stat reduces healing requirements a little, so healers can squeeze out a little more damage to offset what the tank loses.

I think this is incorrect. Tenacity does not make healing on you from healers better. It makes your own healing better.

I think this is incorrect. Tenacity does not make healing on you from healers better. It makes your own healing better.

The argument is based on Tenacity's passive mitigation, "less danage taken = less healing required", not on the selfheal boost. (and even that is a weak argument at best because it doesnt change what tools healers would use)

I do agree with you that it is a weak argument. That's why I'm firmly in the Pro-DPS camp.
