Highest level, tier of improvement, drop set destro, enchantment, actual height, there are any number of measures.
In terms of damage output, testing back in 1.3 and 1.4 showed that fire staves had better damage output in heavy attacks and some skills, and lightning staves do more damage in light attacks and impulse. Not sure if that's still true, but I don't know why it wouldn't be.

But depending on staff changes with IC dlc that might change. Fire destro is taking a nerf and ice and lightning is getting a buff. But I feel that (for pve reasons) since you can't med attack weave abilities with ice or lightnjng that fire would still be best for dps.
