ALL of the above means that the FAERIE is still the best - at least until half-way through the game.
early on, i struggled to get workable spellcasters, particularly the bishop. "discovering" the faeries' strengths, in this respect, helped me along as a new, learning player.

since then, i've seen the limitations of faeries, and would not choose them for spellcasters anymore, for two reasons:

1 - best for half-way is not best overall.
2 - best for a single character is not best for a party.

without getting into too much discussion, my point is just this: the recommendation about faerie spellcasters is a good one, for the new player. and that's all. it has it's limits, not the least of which is what is fun for the individual player.

i hope that anyone who reads any beginner guides or advice (including my own!) keeps that in mind as they learn more about the game, so that they never bow to dogma but instead continue to experiment and find what works best for them.
