That... depends on 2 things:

1. Are you whale?
2. What weapons in that element are good?

Light (because it's such a fucking good element you can always remember it)

->Open Spoiler<-

If whale = No

Axe grid (2 Yule axes, 3 UE axes. Alternatively 1 Herc axe into the mix if you don't have dupe Yule but then you're locked with Herc.)
Staff grid (Andro staff, 3 UE staffs + 1 wild card + UE axes for the exceed + phoenix bow(s))

If whale = Yes

Spear grid (Shingen + Mike + Tish spear, balance accordingly for HP and exceed + Vishnu wheels)
Special sword/ glaive grid (a fuck ton of vishnu wheels, possibly a random free glaive as a filler + UE axe/ Tish spear)
Either is fine really.

Fire

->Open Spoiler<-

If whale = No

Budget spear grid (Shingen + 2 Typhon (eventually 3 with the recent DMM Typhon reprint) + 1/2 Vlad + Iwanaga SR spear (optional) + ... whatever best you get for free)

If whale = Yes

Sword grid (2 UE swords (you have to split the UE sword into 2 and brick them both... or wait 1000 years for the 2nd one) + 3 Ascalon + whatever HP stick you can have, preferably Nemea)
Hammer grid (Nemea everywhere, maybe Iwanagahammer for filler)
Whale spear grid (Mars spear everywhere. Typhon spear for filler). This is the optimal one IMO.

Issue with fire: finding exceed. Fire UE is very far apart from each other. Uriel's gun might work as an exceed filler in the meantime... or Phaleg (fire guardian) axe.

Wind

->Open Spoiler<-

If whale = No

Good luck?

If whale = Yes

Staff grid (UE staffs + maybe Andro's staff + DE staff. Or Titania's staff because too much exceed?).
Hammer grid (Gaia hammer + Garuda hammer). The lesser of the evils of wind whaling and a bit more balanced.
Spear grid (Odin spears everywhere. And ofc Shingen. Exceed wise... wind and exceed :Rami

oh and...

Special sword grid (Cybele scissors + Bethor's (wind guardian) scythe). Yeah just pull a crap ton of Cybeles...

nano.

Water

->Open Spoiler<-

If whale = No

IMO the best event weapons-only grid:

Special sword grid (2 Rahab + 3 UE scythes + 1 Illuyanka hammer + 2 UE bows)

If whale = yes

Axe grid (Asherah axe + Mercury axe. Then toss in HP sticks)

Thunder

->Open Spoiler<-

If whale = No

Gun grid (UE guns + Phul (thunder guardian) guns + UE spears. If you have a Mammon gun that can fill in one Phul gun's slot too)

If whale = Yes

Spear grid (Baal U/ Athena spear + UE spears. The other skill sticks... probably just go with Raiko hammer)
Hammer grid (mix of Raiko + Marduk hammers. The rest are wildcards)
Whale gun grid (Full Mammon gun)
Axe grid (Ukko axes + Justitia axe)

Dark

Oh boy I suck at this one...

->Open Spoiler<-

If whale = No

Axe grid (UE axes + ori axe + Medusa axe)
Hammer grid (3 UE hammers + 2 Delphyne raid hammer)

If whale = Yes

Hammer grid (Samael/ Nephthys hammers + UE hammers)

Well... this is off the top of my head, nothing exhaustive. But, general rules are: the more good FLBs in the element there are, the better that null grid will be.

Also, if you somehow managed to get 6 of the same phantom weapon, would that mean you could theoretically run a mixed element team and have comparable damage or would the damage difference be noticeable?

No. Skill 1s of phantom weapons do not stack.
