I personally use a Crit Atk melded body even though my Piety isn't capped. I had it made before the stat caps were raised a couple of patches ago and haven't bothered to change it. Now it might be worse than a PIE melded body, might be a wash, I don't know. At least it's better after this most recent patch buffed crits.

Oh, I also suppose you could go with a hybrid body with PIE + Crit Atk, but I don't like that idea.
Yeah i'm not fond of mixing materia either, I like to stick to one stat per piece. Once I get a double meld crit I'm definetly going to start playing aroud with that too, since I did see a noticable increase in crit damage from the eyepatch and caligae alone.
