Mobility: ability to cope with mechanics
Peak DPS: actual encounter dps
Party utility: what they being to the table

Maybe other things.

The sum of those things should be equal for each class making them all equally desireable. If I'm a bard and I do as much damage as a samurai but I additionally have a mp regen and party damage buff. Why bring a samurai. Pointless.

Edit: to answer your question about MCH, they are ranged, no cast bar dps. They can cope with mechanics better than a NIN.

Edit: thought of another factor, how easy it is to play therefore how much rng there is when you're trying to recruit one as well as reward for playing it well and dealing with everything else.
