Personally I prefer bard over blackmage, but thats a very personal preference.

Again: for any content that isnt the hardcore-endgame-raid it wont matter which class you're playing.
I actually do intend on trying raiding this time around, I attempted a static back when Seph ex and Alex was endgame and it didn't last. I'm thankful for the advice given and I think I'll take your advice and try to level two of the three, with NIN being the one I take through the story.
