They generally lean toward improving attack capabilities.
Keywords for the abbreviations below are referenced at the bottom
What is best?
Every character is different, but there are some general rules.
BRV DMG increase is best to overcome BRV DMG reductions, especially vs. low defense (these tend to be more valuable in the BT era)
ATK is best to overcome high defense or when skills scale off ATK
Magic/Physical/Ranged boosts won't affect BRV gains based on ATK, but are otherwise exactly the same in effect
Overflow, mBRV, & iBRV are marginal effects and worse than refined (RF) spheres that boost BRV DMG / ATK, which are very common, dropping in most events.
Refined spheres are 2/5s as strong as normal spheres
BRV DMG A spheres
BRV DMG A spheres
These are among the best spheres in the game, and best for most attackers, especially those with high ATK or ignore DEF based kits.

mBRV & iBRV A spheres
These are the worst A spheres available, and generally should not be placed on any characters unless they have no BRV hits in their kit and specifically benefit in a strong way from improvements to their MAX BRV stat.
A few units may want mBRV more since their kit revolves around it like Jack Garland, Astos and Rufus

Other A spheres
Other A spheres
These spheres are best stated as weird. Perhaps a character benefits from this effect, but it's unlikely that the benefit is better than BRV DMG or ATK. The biggest stretch may be Galuf or Beatrix wielding Iroha's sphere. Balthier's sphere is the worst A in the game, and Cinque's is a worse version of Iroha's.

BRV gain (10% mBRV) when breaking enemy
BRV gain (10% mBRV) when dealing a crit hit (once per turn)
