Should all of my palicos have equipment?

When you have your first stringer squad, you can give them equipment, but you can only take one other 1st stringer with you and your main palico on quests.
You also can't send first stringers out as "meownster hunters".
Is there any reason to have your other first stringers besides your sub and main equipped for combat?

How important is Palico equipment?
Palico gear doesn't really matter, since they're basically just there to give you a health boost and help you e.g. if you're stunned. I just gave my palico the gear I had available to it at the time, and rarely bother to upgrade. Besides, the moment you play with 3 or more people Palicos aren't gonna matter anymore.What equipment do you need for Palico?
Palicoes can equip 4 different equipment: Weapons, Helms, Chest Armor and Gadgets. Palico Equipment works much the same way that player Equipment does, and is made from Materials that drop from Monsters.Can Palico have 2 gadgets?
Palico Gadgets in Monster Hunter World (MHW) are used by Palicoes to heal the hunter, stun Monsters, provoke Monsters or other various effects. Palicoes can only have 1 Gadget equipped at a time, so you must choose what you will be needing on the Hunt.How do you get more equipment for Palico?
All current Palico Gadgets are unlocked through Grimalkyne quests. These are special quests that become available after you gather enough Doodles and track down the Grimalkyne in that particular area.Your Palico Is STRONG - Guide - (Gear, Gadgets, Skills, Riding, Taming) - Monster Hunter World
