Hm, LA Agartha at least at some time was considered very strong. With their too-good mages they still are.
I considered LA Agartha, but their strength comes from their awesome combat mages, while their military is of quite low quality. While I would rate them a strong nation in 'regular' games, I think the hard research will make them struggle in early game. (Not worse than several other nations that come to mind, mind you. Just enough not to rate them as a strong choise anymore. )

Anyway, just personal opinion of course
LA Argatha has a couple of really good things going for it, good combat mages are just one. They've also got good early summons, good later summons and good paths for forging (E/F/D could be argued to be the best forging paths). I actually did pick LA Argatha, but it's far enough down on my list that I think it's pretty unlikely I'll land it.
I would think astral is an absolute must in long term forging. I finally got to the endgame in Sloth, and I swear to god I put an astral skullcap and an amulet of antimagic on every, single, SC I made.

Not to mention shields of luck, faihtfuls, or lucky pendants.
