Depending on content and own equipment, a hime can rise from B-Tier to S-Tier. In the same instant, a hime can also drop from S-Tier to B-Tier. Circumstances are a major factor when choosing something for your team. Not even including used Soul, cause then it goes even further down the wormhole of debate.
If we talk about players that are starting out, then hime like Berith, Metatron, Uriel for example are most certainly not something they should aim for. Yes, these are power houses, no doubt, but a player that doesnt even has a grid yet cant even let those go bonkers. While a Hime like Sol, Seth, Gaia would help him out much much more to clear content.
Another example would be, if you are a super strong player. You are rocking 70k avg. power on your homescreen, hell, you can nearly do what you want. People even use souls like Sieg and Solomon to clear their stuff in mere minutes if not even 1-3 turns, because they are that strong, they dont need protection. They only need power and more power. Not even mentioning AAB against disadvantage element.

What in the end matters is, if you consider giving a general advise, what hime covers a major need of skillseffect for most content. Based on that fundament a list can be made and can serve as a general rule of thumb what to lookout for. It can be split into Beginner-, Advanced- and Veteran-player. Below you could also throw in a list for specific Hime for certain content, for those that have to many and wanna optimize content.
I agree with a lot of what is said here. It's certainly true that himes like Sol AW and Gaia AW will bring up the overall power of beginners much faster than an "advanced" player as you call them. It is also true that Sol AW will be an absolutely necessity for comfortably clearing the current and upcoming Dark Ragnarok's. Having a tier list for "Beginner, Advanced, and Veteran players" also reminds me of the old Granblue Fantasy Gaijins Tier List, which unfortunately has been discontinued. Regardless of its validity, I really like its format, and I'd link it if I was allowed to post links.

The other thing I'd say that people don't consider is how good a team will be leading up to its creation. When prioritizing hime, it's important to consider not only what himes are most functional by themselves but also how strong they are in conjunction with previously obtained, higher priority hime.
