I didn't think it matters in terms of choosing which to use, just your personal preferrence for the looks I guess. Get a green staff with added INT and you have yourself a wand, or get a wand with extra aim and you have yourself a powered up staff. The damage base is just too close to be significant. I'd go for staff just for the looks but wand is my choice for gws. As for equipments that are green I always choose those that are high with END or DEX, SPR is ok for some extra mana and INT doesn't really matter for me, of course having it is great, but since most greens go with only 3 stats I go for END/DEX/SPR. Also I find having DEX very very useful (every single piece of my armor adds DEX). The fighters simply doesn't hit me well enough even with aim scrolls (imagine if I'd popped on evasion scrolls), not that I care about fighting vs fighters, but added aim helps me grind and get accepted with higher level parties, in addition to that I can hit orcs without missing at level 33.

Current equipment stats:

Wand: ZK 6% critical (do not plan to add license since I'll get to 40 fast) with 19 SPR 14 END 17 INT
Hat: Green 19 DEX 14 END 6 SPR
Boots: 19 DEX 17 END
Pants: 13 END 18 DEX 11 SPR
Armor: 19 END 14 INT 16 SPR
Rings: Brave Ring of Roumen x2

All equipments are not enhanced btw (I don't want any l30-48 enhanced since it'll be a waste of my blue miles/red eyes), maybe I'll spend a few silvers if I run into a nice l40 ggk +9.

One main reason for starting a mage is that no matter how much the other classes decide to +9 their equipment my damage isn't reduced at all on them (MDef doesn't increase no matter how much you enhance). Hence I can kill a fighter as long as I kite well (not that I can't just stand there and fight him headon with my def level). But I think kiting is the key to win (I can make a fighter burn all his stones/pots with my archer before he/she can get a chance to make me burn a few, same applies for mage, but they're more fragil in comparison). Also I've killed a cleric higher level than me fighting headon. xD
