I guess it depends. I was leveling them alongside the game level for a while, because it did seem the more useful way to do it, but stopped when I got them to Lv50 and completed the ARR quests because it was just too many story threads to be following all at once! Plus time spent on it instead of getting through to the end of the MSQ so I could finally stop dodging spoilers (and asking people to not talk about story details in FC chat).

Now that I've got to that endpoint, it's probably time to start working on them again.
