General Guidelines:
For ease, only level up Serah and Noel when you have enough CP to complete an ENTIRE stage in one go (see the CP Cost column).
Always level Synergist up to an ODD level on big crystals. Leveling a Sentinel or Medic on a big crystal also only gives more HP.
When leveling the Saboteur role on large crystals, level up to an EVEN level for +2 Str, or to an ODD level for +2 Mag.

Finally, save before upgrading each time!
