It's a matter of personal choice really. Machine glove is level 80, so it can have the same potential stats as job gloves from 71 to 110. The only difference is that a level 120 glove can get decent sharp eyes, while lower level gloves can't.

Yes, the common glove is better.
Its at its highest tier of potential, has good attack, is already epic and is 3 lined.
The potential would be the same if it was a class specific glove anyway, just without the limitation on who can use it.
Unless you want Sharp Eyes, but from what you said it seems like you want stats

Out of curiosity, how much are the gloves going for?
