Leveling Sacred Lance is really up to you on whether or not you want the Extra Skills from it. Otherwise, it's not really a weapon worth raising.

Valdroar EX really isn't that difficult either if you can manage to control your damage and use Shion's UBB five times before getting Alza Masta to 0% HP. There aren't any buff-wipes in the quest except for the final nuke on the turn after getting Alza Masta to 0%.
