I like to just wait until the price of materia drops like a stone (i.e. 3.0 release) and buy a ton of them, then see my boy Mutamix and do some materia lotto. Then I do all the class quests that reward materia for botanist, fisher, and miner while leveling up, and that gets me enough IV gathering materia to choke a camel. Then I don't ever have to, what was that word?... Ah spiritbond. Yeah, I don't need to do that ever.
