The time it takes to level a skill increases approximately exponentially with the level of the skill up to level 50. From level 50 onward, it's capped at several days, with the exact amount of time depending on your rank in Research Boost. But that means that if you have one skill get much higher level than your others, it might be a choice of skills at levels 45 and 0, 44 and 20, 43 and 30, or whatever. In most cases, several levels in one skill is more valuable than one level in another skill. Thus, you should level all of your lab and temple/church skills except for the few that you know aren't useful to you. Once you get most of your skills close to level 50, it's okay to pick one and push it to 65. But it takes several months to get there.

But it matters not just which lab skills you level, but also that you level them. Whenever you're online and a lab or temple/church skill has finished, start another one. Plan ahead and make sure that you have plenty of copper and kizuna, and later on, souls, so that you can always start another skill as soon as possible.
