Finding a CD/DVD copy that works.

Do you think it's the game, or the PS2's laser?

How is the condition of the disc? Disc is far more packed compared to the average game. so unlike other games wich have more room for empty spots and to duplicate data. FF X doesn't have that luxury. would need to be in better shape on average.
However it's a 2 sided problem. could also just be a weaker laser cause unless it has some damage at the top and the damage is actually severe a good ps2 should be able to read it.
a temporary solution if it's the laser that's starting to wear down could be to try and polish the FF X copy to be near mint and up in which your laser can read it easier.

Looked at it. It has quite a few scratches, but PS2 discs are supposed to be pretty hardy, as someone else said.

Relatively good, I guess.

so it has some light scratches. It's probably your console struggling with trying to read it. Try a near mint to mint copy in the future and see if the issue persist I'd say quite a cheap game you'll find one at some point. or give the disc some disc repair to weed out most of the scratches and see if that fixes it.
Where all 3 of your FF X copies in relatively good shape. none in near mint to mint shape? I could see lasers that are starting to break down have issues with bigger games if they aren't near perfect. almost every spot is used on the disc in FF X case with over 4gigs when a dvd has a max cap of 4.5
