It's mostly for extra att/stats and looks. The heart expires, but that's not really a problem because the recipe and materials needed to craft them are easy to come by. You can buy a crystal heart recipe from the tempest shop or something. The recipe is permanent once it's used on the character. You can make a mule just for crafting hearts and assigning them part-time jobs for the materials if you need it.
I find that gold and crystal hearts are better to make than the other ones. Gold hearts come with 3 slots, uses gold plates and advanced item crystals, while crystal hearts has 5 slots and uses Luk crystals and superior item crystals. They're pretty cheap in the FM anyway, so it's up to you. I extract a lot of random equipment (mostly from Monster Park) so I get an abundant of item crystals. You can scroll the hearts with any scroll. I myself just use 100% att scrolls from the NPC because it's fast and consistent. I occasionally use junk 60% ATT scrolls whenever I come across any.
