One other thing to add. Stat increases can increase your highest stat to 6 (with 2 stat increases) or 7 (with 4 stat increases). If your character has a "main" stat and you're not a fan of increasing much else, you can guarantee that most opponents will have to spend SP to beat that stat.
People can argue that prevents you from being well rounded, but I'd disagree - you can get alt forms to go with it. Then with the right powers and moves you can specialise in basically everything you need to.
That's not to handwave powerups - they'll give you more stats than a stat increase will for a lot less OM. Sometimes you're gonna need a quick boost to your stats in battle, and paired with alt forms you can get a lot of arrangements. A super attack might do a lot more damage at once, but when your stats are temporarily a lot better, you have a lot more options. You can also reach 10+ in a stat with them and meme on people.
If I could only have one of stat increases and powerups, I'd probs go for the stat increases. You can have a solid build without powerups - the main thing that wins a fight is the moves and powers in my opinion.
