Each category has merit, which is why they are included.

NDPS is a good measure of a job's raw strength in a pug scenario, as it's solely your own ability to play the job minus buffs. This was added recently because it's harder to determine whether a job like Black Mage and a job like Red Mage stack up in uncoordinated groups / PF play.

RDPS is a good measure of a job's overall strength, which is why it's the primary metric used for FFLogs.

ADPS is a good measure for a player capitalizing on party buff windows, because both R/NDPS generally favor selfish play for non-buffing jobs, which is less useful if your goal is optimization.
