I myself prefer to use Black Grail/Heaven's Feel over Demonic Bodhisattva, due to Demonic Bodhisattva's One-time nature, plus that it is an additional 40% Buster UP, which will just be added instead of multiplied like NP Damage UP is. Plus, the status up is divided between HP and Attack, so for pure attack it's a bit worse.

Basically [(1+0,5+0,2)*1,4] is better than (1+0,5+0,6) ; supposing 100% charge; the more charge, the better NP UP will be].

The starting NP is great, though.

And I'll offer another options, though these aren't always available in the gacha - Holy Night of Learning, Cute Orangette and Azure Magical Girl. There is also Vessel of the Saint if you plan on doing high spam in a short time, and is always gacha-able.

"Best CE for her" will vary on your team and situation, as well as the intended role for her. Simply put, though, I choose the CE like this:

For short battles or when you can't expect to be able to charge her NP quickly or easily before she dies, NP Gen up and/or starting NP will do nicely, as well as Prisma Cosmos. Arts UP CEs aren't bad either.

For a long battle, or one where you can expect to easily charge NP due to reasons [Merlin, Waver, Helena, Arts Chains galore, Tamamo and such], NP Damage/Buster UP.

Hybrid cards for balance and middle grounds.

There's also the support role, though I don't use her for support so I can't say anything about it.
