PLD Gear Advice. Please assist

I really appreciate the advice, your replies have helped me focus my ideas for my build direction. The point you all reiterated about spending needless Gil hit home too! No Kite +1's on the wards atm but I'm on the look out.

Going for triples at this point in the game is spending needless gil. You can do all the content in the game in single melds. Doubles make it a little easier. Triples (especially a tier-2 materia triple) make only a small difference. What are you planning to actually do with this gear in the month and a half before shutdown?

Having an extra +16 STR on a single piece of gear means that you could potentially free up an entire slot to use for something else; seems worth it to me. I got lucky and hit +44 MND on just my helm and don't need a single piece of gear with MND on it (more or less), giving me a ton of more options.
