BST/RDM pro's & cons
Pro's: reuse some of your armor/weapons for lvling; don't have to lvl WHM; spells trade offs vs whm

Con's: don't get as much mp increase from RDM vs WHM; wait a few lvls on getting some spells like cures/blink/raise; you don't get status removing spells like Poisona/Blinda etc

I have to agree I liked lvling RDM better than WHM. I think whm is more efficient at first due to the aliment removing ablility but I'v eheard of alot of people switching back to RDM to use for soloing at the end but I personally have no experience there. You are good either way you go and they both keep your downtime to a minimum.
