Grr, I wrote up a big response, and forgot to copy it before hitting enter... Of course the stupid Wiki ate it.

I don't think Duran is the best Raid lead, although he's good if you can keep everyone's gauge moderately full. I'd recommend Chrome as your leader instead, and maybe swap Duran or Selena out for Zenia.

If you really want to keep Duran as lead, I'd go with Zenia instead. A lot of Chrome's buffs are probable and some of them don't mesh that well with the rest of your team (he'll be the only one using the dark damage buff if Zenia isn't there.) Zenia has more dropchecks overall, a bigger attack multiplier, a sphere dedicated to attack, and her BB can automatically help fill up gauges in a pinch. Chrome is great, his potential spark damage is definitely bigger, even as a sub, if the RNG on his spark vulnerability procs, but I think he shines best when he's also the leader.

Incidentally, Griff is a fantastic leader, definitely better than Duran, but you may want him for other areas, rather than Raid, where there is crit resistance and a need to kill certain body parts first.
