The hardest character to figure out how to build and master under is Ryu. All of the others develop very obvious strengths and weaknesses:

Peco, for example, has more HP at level 50 than anyone else will have at 99. And at 99, he has less Agi and Int than everyone else had at 50. Fahl is obviously the best Master for him, building on all his strengths and introducing no new weaknesses.

Nina generally has less than half the Pwr of everyone else with her only exceptional stats being AP, and then Agi and Int to a lesser extent. Deis is a great choice since she raises all three of those and can get her the kind of end-game extra turns that normally only Rei would see. But if you'd rather focus on pure magic damage, then the answer is Emitai.

Garr's AP never rises above abysmal, and his Int at 99 is lower than non-casters like Rei at 50. Since his Pwr is unrivaled and both his HP and Def are lower than Peco, it's better to go with Bunyan/ Hachio than Fahl. I'd recommend Bunyan over Hachio since his Int is so awful he'll probably never cast anything anyway and he might get some small mileage out of the Agi.

Momo's a bit harder. She's at the bottom 3 for Agi, Def and HP, and generally trades off with Rei for bottom 3 in Pwr. So really, her only strengths are Int (highest of everyone) and AP (second highest). The best option for her is Deis by a pretty long shot. She'll foster her Int and AP, but more importantly, keep beefing up her Str. Momo becomes a great candidate for Aura, Shadow Walk, et cetera because her Pwr will be reasonably high, but more importantly, she'll have the AP to not run out from spamming it, and the Int to be the group healer if Ryu goes physical (which most do).
