I got the passionate Salsa since it seems to be a stronger multi-break with the added benefit of a mild cure, and the Fire thief ability that heals you via a portion of the damage you do, but beyond that, I'm just not sure, and really don't want to waste my record rubies on junk.

It kinda seems that the Black Mage 5 hit chain spells, and the Spellblade 5 hit abilities are probably ones that I can skip, just feels like a minor improvement that would just waste a limited resource.

So, yeah, some advice would be much appreciated on this subject :).
The general first bit of advice is to score multi-element coverage. Those are abilities which will always help. And there are some utility abilities, like Healing Smite, which are generally good to have.

After that, it's simply a question of what need arises. Got Noctis' Sync? Better load up on Fire SAM abilities. Got Rydia's Awakening? Grab those SUMs. Need to beef up your FFX team? Grab a Water SHP. And so forth.

Aside from grabbing some multi-element abilities, it really boils down to spending on what you need, rather than buying in anticipation of a possible need.
