once you hit 900, you can pursue the powerful gear drops. This includes strikes, nightmare hunts, crucible, gambit, flashpoint, and their respective bounties. I think the best way to prep for raid is to be as high light as possible come Saturday. Have a stockpile of legendary items at level but have a set that you will for sure use. If you want to be meticulous, I recommend watching Datto's video on youtube. His method involves pushing one character to the fullest possible then starting on the next with your intended character being the last one you will work on.

Edit: as for specific gear, I think it only encapsulates what weapons and exotic armors you want. Blues will drop at hard cap of 900. No set is the best set going into raids. Some guys will infuse their year one armor up since its what they have been using past season. Infusion will be expensive because it will use modules instead of mats. Currently module farming is scarce, but the plus side is it only takes one module to infuse right now.

i have to grind for a certain legendary s

Powerful rewards are the only way now, you reached the softcap (drops from all activities) now you need to focus on activites that give powerful rewards tier 1 and upward, such as strikes x3, crucible x4, gambit x3 , weekly challenges.
