I prefere the staff because its multi-functional. Its great for hiking, reaching far places, stiring a camp fire, magick and self defense. Both wands and staves corespond to fire. Both can be made from all natrual wood found in your back yard. I suppose the typical material is oak. The type of wood can be determined to make a wand or staff for a specific purpose. Both are aspects of masculine. You can carve symbols into either to consecrate it. You can even carve a slot for a stone or gem. Point being staves and wands can both be very useful tools. Both have there pros and cons. If neither seem to cater to you perhaps a mace would be an alternitive.
