    Personally I prefer lightening, but that's because I'm sadistic and take pleasure in watching people fry. However, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say fire due to the amount of vampires running around.
    I, as a loyal member of the Foamy Cult, do solemnly swear to live a logical life free of stupidity, ignorance and all round jack assery. I shall do my best to enlighten those in need of Squirrelly Wisdom in hope of one day ridding the world of human idiocy. This I swear.

    If you use a Fire staff btw, don't use a Fire weapon enchant on it. Light and Heavy fire attacks proc burning which will overlap with a fire enchant burning. Use poison or prismatic if facing daedra.

    I like the heavy attacks for restoration and lightning staff.

    I don't really like the charging-up that fire and frost staves use.

    This guy answers your question. Everything else is an opinion, not the absolute.

    Heavy and light attacks from fire and frost staff can be reflected by scales so consider this little info.
    If you want me to reply to your comment type @Ankael07 in it.

    Also consider this... if you're weaving attacks, Lightning is the worst because it's a channeled attack. Most people choose Inferno or Frost because of the ability to weave weapon attacks between spells.

    roughly speaking, with the destruction staff fire does better single target damage, ice is defensive, and lightning has splash damage

    In the current game staves are not used for max dps, only for utility. For max dps you need dual wield. Yes, it makes no sense, we know.

    Fire staff: Max damage of the 3.
    Frost staff: Best defense of the 3.
    Lightning staff: Because F**k Dragonknights.

    At least that's how I see it.
    My ping is higher than your resource recovery...
