Doesnt matter, what matters is the kind of magic you junctioning, the higher tier, the more benefits it gives, for example junction higher tier healing magic and you get shitton of health.
And then there are other lower tier healing magic which will boost other characters as well.

Its funny ppl tell not to level up to make the game easier and on my first playthrough I specifically made a point of levelling up to 100lvl as fast as I could ( I assumed the higher my level the more cool shit I can do and the higher level of monsters, the more interesting they would be to fight and would give me better magic) and still, I just nuked everything in my path aside from Ultimecia that was my first and only hard battle.

In general, combat sucks because you will abuse the mechanics even if you dont want to, your brain will seek the most optimal solution and will find it right away whether you want it or not.
At the same time the game will give you a MAJOR BENEFIT no other FF did, you can just use white water and avoid combat altogether, I am not aware of any other FF game that did that without making you under-leveled, enjoy the game for the setting and the story, enjoy the spectacular combat, enjoy steam-rolling your enemies, the card game, forget the combat which with proper junctioning will take you from start to finish with simple "attack" command.

No game is perfect, neither is this one but FF8 has enough to just shit on a combat system and say "you are not as important as you think you are" and its actually true in this case.

This is not the game for min-maxing, this is the game for feels and healing, just take it as such and if you get stuck due to difficulty or something, return to vr but just so you know, you might be retarded, no ill feelings, just a fact, I am also a retard so I like retards.
