When it comes to keeping or getting rid of materials, unless it's something you know you use on a regular basis I would suggest selling it. It's wasted inventory space (and lost gil) otherwise. Most materials are extremely easy to obtain again if you need them later. The only exceptions I would make are the rare crafting materials that come from treasure maps or creature drops in Coils (as opposed to a loot chest drop).
I know that's the smartest option, and I'm working to get to that point. I'd like to complete all the unique crafts for each job and although the items are easy to get, teleporting to the zone to gather the materials can sometimes be more than what I would have made selling the material in question. Once I can guarantee all the items currently craftable with said material have been made, I plan to toss/sell the materials and hopefully reclaim some much needed inventory space, haha!
