Elemental Fruits vs. Buddha for a fresh Sea 1 grind?

I've been looking into the most efficient path for a solo 'noob to max' run and I'm torn. Everyone keeps swearing by the Light fruit because of the M1 and the flight speed in Sea 1, but I'm starting to think Magma’s damage output is just objectively better for boss hopping once you hit Sea 2. What do you guys think is the actual meta right now? If you had to start a brand new account today, would you prioritize the mobility of an Elemental fruit, or would you just camp the Stock until Buddha shows up? I feel like the elemental immunity is a bait for newer players that falls off way too hard in the late game. Anyone else noticed that the grind speed drops significantly if you don't switch off Elementals by level 1500?
