Although the stat differences between characters are minimal by default, each character still looks best doing certain things.
I try to give each character the right materia for their apparent job, by giving Aerith, say, all the White magic materia, and Cloud more physical materia, such as Deathblow and cover. Cloud has Lightning and Earth materia as well, though, and every character, regardless of job, has one or two summons. I don't think it's really practical to have a dedicated Black Mage, mind you, when you can just have every character with one or two elemental materia each.
For Vincent, who is supposedly a Gunner/Blue Mage, I equipped him with the Enemy Skill and status inflicting materia such as Poison and Mystify. It fits in well, because he's able to morph into monsters. It would be damn silly if he couldn't use blue magic. I also gave him time and gravity materia, but I think Tifa would look better using those, for some reason.
Thoughts?
