Personally, no Jeigans or prepromotes is kinda my thing. I get a kick out of taking weak units and training them up to really strong. I also specialize my groups, like one of every weapon type. So I end up with a group of usually 10-12 characters (depending on the game) who are all 20/20 and specialists in different weapons. I would never do LTC, because honestly, I wouldn't know where to start. I do Hard Mode every once in a while, but for the most part I prefer Normal Mode. I am le 'casual player,' who doesn't give a shit about ratings. I'll sit there for 50 turns waiting for a support. Also, fuck the idea of tiers. I understand why they exist for LTC, but for normal gameplay I'll just use whoever I please, thank you.
