For mages, the best staff is probably Staff of the Magi, it offers some pretty useful protections and abilities. However, you mage really should not be trying to hit enemies, especially in melee combat. Mages are very slow in advancing their THAC0 or proficiencies (you only get a max of 3 anyways), spell casting is the way to deal damage for mages, not close combat for mages.
If you want to cast spells and be able to fight decent in melee, that's what fighter/mages are for.
