I think it's worth mentioning in the question of so-and-so is better than so-and-so that sometimes the random number generator just takes a liking to one character and a distaste for another. Especially in Awakening, where characters of the same class get the same skills.
In theory, Miriel has the worst base growths in the game, but she's actually the best mage I have right now. Sure, the point of the game is to stack the odds in your favour, but sometimes a unit just keeps on getting lucky, so am I supposed to bench my best mage because she might start regressing to mean in the future? Hell no.
