Yes discernement, bore and burrow are important for digging, then you can cap either str or end( can only cap 2 stats and put leftover points into one of said 2 stats)

Please note that chocobo digging is pretty much dead now since all the big money items you used to dig are available in chest, wich resulted in prices getting sh*tted on.

After raising 4 different chocobos for digging I came to the conclusion that having high discernment does nothing for your actual digging. Without a doubt, it does help you learn abilities such as bore more quickly. However, once you have learned the abilities you want you can safely ignore discernment.

My green max discernment bore/burrow bird seemed to give the exact same items/ratios as my red low discernment bore/burrow bird (lowered discernment after learning the abilities).

As has been mentioned however, digging wouldn't bring in much gil now. It would probably take me a week of digging to max everyday just to make half the gil I would in one dynamis. Plus setting aside 70 inventory slots to dig is something I could do in 2005....but now would be impossible.
