it depends on the situation for me. i like alastor for general battle, but in dmd mode i need something stronger. for certain boss battles i needed to use ifrit's fireballs for their massive damage. alastor also annoyed me when it did that spinning attack to nero angelo because i allways wanted him to crash down on him instead but for some reason i liked alastor's "style". the way everything was set up just completely worked for me.
