Good to know. I had been switching around once I mastered it unless I really needed a specific one for a battle.

So, I want to clarify here. Keeping them in mastered archetypes isn't technically faster. It's a 1 to 1 conversion. On a mastered archetype, every 1000 a-exp gives you 1 Hero's Leaf of Light, which gives you 1000 a-exp. But what that allows you to do is keep your current party setup and potentially funnel all of the a-exp into 1 character. I used that to max 100% of the archetypes on the MC, while everyone else still only had 20-30% mastered. Up to you how you spread it around.

Also, something that will help with leveling archetypes is equipping everyone with an Archetypal Ring. It increases the a-exp earned by 50% and you can buy as many as you want from the Nidia Shopkeeper in the 3rd city (Brilehaven). But he only sells them on Watersday and you have to buy them one at a time for 40,000 each (you have to talk to him again after buying one). Also be aware that the a-exp earned on the battle screen will increase when it's equipped on the MC, but that's not the a-exp gain for the entire party. Everyone needs to have one equipped to benefit.
