Just from a game mechanics point of view I think Wizards are a better spellcasting class in NWN. They get spells faster, and have a greater selection. The draw back, of course, is that they must plan ahead. But in a game where reloading, reseting spells if you need it, and resting takes maybe 2 minutes that isn't a big drawback. The tabletop game, on the other hand, is a whole different story.
I think sorcerers make better pure artillery though, because they can respond to the different needs of massively violent death in a more precise manner.
I'm itching to play through it again as a spellcaster too... I'm considering either Monk/Wizard or Paladin/Sorcerer.
