It depends on which of them you have/can use or the situation.

Elimo its great when you need to mitigate+heal, and also you can cure status with his bb, but she would be 100% support since she does not hit with neither her bb nor her sbb

Zeldeus is best when you only need to mitigate, and dont want to have a 100% support unit since he hits really hard (for a mitigator) and hes a beast when equipped with his sphere. His weakness is that he has no way to cure status problems, his bb and sbb only hit once and you will also need another unit to heal.

Aaron will give a less impresive mitigation, but he hits many times and will also charge your units bb gauge. Same as Zeldeus, he doesn't have a way o cure status and will need another unit to heal, but the fact that he only gives +90% Def can be annoying sometimes.

Grantz could be a good mitigator in some situations, he can cure status and also heal, and as a bonus give light and dark elements to your units attack. Hes problem will be that he does not give a Def buff.

Edea can be very usefull sometimes since she can remove status and will also debuff the enemys sometimes. Her weakness could be that she does not give a Def buff, and you will also need a way to heal your team.

As for the 6* mitigators... They can fall short in harder content because their stats.

Also, I will recomend using units like Kanon with the mitigators to counter the lack of Def buff or Status removal.
