Joshua's got durability issues and doesn't have omgCrit like other Swordmasters such as Guy. You're the first person I've ever seen to say Vanessa isn't massive w1n. She's too good. Her stats are pretty pwn. Just bad STR, but she has like +5 Atk from supports, so... Fair enough about L'Arachel.... it is very true that your best healer is also usually your first healer, since they take so long to level past the staves only phase =P. I find that surprising about Vanessa. I've always thought of Vanessa as being pretty average. As I'm fond of saying, "she does pegasus things" meaning she is adequate in the role of a pegasus, but isn't really so awesome that I find myself using her to do other things as well. As a counter example, Lute generally exceeds your expectations of what a Mage should be good at; Sure, you expect a Mage to build great Magic and Res, but she also builds Speed and Luck well too, so you can expect her to do more than you generally give the Mage class credit for. Vanessa builds great Speed and Skill, but that's basically what I expect of a decent Pegasus as a given... and she doesn't really go beyond that to have better than expected Strength, Defense, Res, or Luck. They are all just "good enough." In fact, sometimes her strength is less than awesome, and she ends up not being able to hurt anything, really =/. Then again, I've never supported her, and as you say, +5 str counts a heck of a lot when you double anything and everything. Of course, there is always the chance I just got RNG screwed every time and always got an underwhelming Vanessa, lol. One point Ross has is a great support with Garcia. If you decide to field them both, they get full offense + avoidance from their great affinity, and the support builds very quickly. This works especially well if you make Ross a Berserker, and is great for axemen in general.
