I don't think this info has been posted anywhere so I'd like to display what I have figured out myself via hacking. (I originally made this as a txt file but couldn't stick it to this message)

HOW TO ENSURE YOURSELF MAX HP/MP IN FFVI

This file is best viewed in Notepad.

Thanks to the help of various ROM hex editors and hacking utilities, I have pulled out the
formula for HP and MP gain. This table shows how much HP and MP each character,
EVERY character gains at the specified level.

To ensure max HP and MP the most efficient way possible, you should equip the espers
that raise HP/MP at the right levels. When you equip Bahamut at level 69 and level to
70 with it equipped, you will gain 243 HP instead of 162. That's an 81 hit point gain.
Remember to equip the esper BEFORE gaining the level, not at the level specified...
For example, when it says to equip it for levels 69 and 70, that means equip it AT level 68 and
level to 69, then equip it AT level 69 and level to 70.

>All characters should equip the Bahamut esper for levels 69, 70, and 71
to ensure they will end with the maximum number of HP.

Here is the key for MP gain
>3 - Equip Crusader for levels 48, 49, and 50, for a total of 24 extra MP, it rounds down
>4 - Equip Crusader for levels 48, 49, 50, and 51 for a total of 32 extra MP.
>5 - Equip Crusader for levels 47, 48, 49, 50, and 51, for a total of 40 extra MP.

Gogo and Umaro cannot equip espers, therefore cannot end with max HP/MP. Sorry :/

You didn't think it had been posted anywhere because you didn't bother to check: http://masterzed.cavesofnarshe.com/GameDocs/ff3hpmp.txt

well I think I made it easier for those who are trying to figure it out by actually telling when to equip certain summons
