The soul gives +5% HP and 2-3% raw stats at low level, less than 1% at 100.
"everything matters", but 5 points of item level give you more.
To make this clear, as a conjurer I can heal through every not-high-endgame content (cure II and medica I-II are enough).
What makes the difference is the equipment, the use of materia and food.

I swear, some of you will argue just to argue. Doesn't matter if it makes sense.
