Are some instruments more vital in general to use when conducting music? Is there some kind of ranking of which ones are given the most attention or are they all rather considered equal?

The most important instruments in an orchestra are the stringed instruments. Violins, cellos, etc. They usually get the most to do and the nicest lines of music. But every instrument is important to the mix of colors and sounds
