I kited to 50. Then grouped to 60. I did mix in some kiting post 50 but for the most part I was grouping.
If you kite to 60, no one is going to know you. You aren't going to have any connections, which help when finding a group.

Verified, 60 bard here as well, my first EQ char to 60 and first time EVER playing EQ has been here on my bard. It's going to be hard to find groups unless you make your own, or if you've got an active guild. But once you get in with the current "crowd" of people in the area you'll find groups easier. Mix it up and get XP the way you want to. If you spend all your time LFG and not getting groups, or if you spend all your time kiting you're going to want to quit either way. The hybrid penalty isn't too bad 50-54 but once you get into 55 and beyond it really starts to hurt. Find another bard to kite with and you'll be golden. I levelled with Jete and in about 12 hrs of kiting we banged out nearly 60% of 59-60 for him. I got into HS west and grinded for about 12 hrs on Sat, then 6-8hrs on Sunday and got 59-60 in 2 days.
EDIT: Granted when I was doing HS west with a group I had it stacked with 3-4 dps and a healer. I was tanking / pulling / ccing all myself which greatly sped up the process. I don't want to think how many completed clears we had =x
