I always use the wizard staff for long distances over mountains and water, but if i really wanna go somewhere fast, i run and jump without stopping for anything in my path. I'll deal with whatever's chasing me once i get where i wanna be.
Especially on Solstheim i use levitation a lot. If you thought the Cliffracers in Vvardenfell were annoying, just wait until you get there. You'll be fighting hundreds and hundreds of wild pigs, wolves, bears, Ricklings, and berserkers. Going from point A to B is becoming a real drag. The fights aren't that tough, but it's the amount of agressive creatures you have to deal with that's starting to irritate me. That's why i levitate while in Solstheim, there aren't any Cliffracers there, so it's all nice and quiet.
And of course the "Mark" and "Recall" spells are important overthere.
