Would have been my choices. Prolly Sorcerer or Artificer. Prolly Human Sorcerer. Human XP advantage fights your slow XP chart. Then combined the awesome power of healing with the awesome power of beating. RAR!!!

The major benefit of sorceror to me was not having to find scrolls and so being guaranteed the spells you wanted as well as access to priest and Mage items (not sure how much that came up for others though, PB and I never saw a priest only item). When I compared the spell lists, I didn't think I would consider choosing a priest spell until the 4th level. The downsides compared to a battle mage on the other hand:
1. Slow XP chart (consider a Battle Mage could use a 4th level spell at 32k XP and something like 65k for a sorceror)
2. 50% less damage from icy blast and acid arrow
3. Worse combat abilities (weapon selection and to hit)
4. Fewer hps
5. Less flexibility with which spells they could cast in a given day
