I would go with either the runed circlet or the crown of leaves, NOT
Zaharn's Coronet... you said that 5 wisdom=25 mana.. this isn't really true.
Every level you get each point of wisdom counts for more.
The formula to calculate our mana is ((wisdom/5)+2) * level. I would
probably choose the runed circlet becasue it is only one wisdom less and has
more AC. When you get a few more levels and into your 30's you can camp
the nightshade wreath if you really want to have +5/+5 instead of +4/+4.

there is no doubt in my mind whatsoever that the gator legs are better.
Some will argue with me on this point i'm about to make, but in my opinion
AC is not all that important. At least the way I play I find that I am
becoming more and more of a caster every level and I hardly melee at all
now. When something is on me i'm shouting at my group to get it off so I
can heal them. Since (ideally) I'm not getting hit all that much AC is less
important. The argument could be made that more AC would help you take hits
and thus give your group more time to get stuff off of you. However, the 4
AC isn't that huge of a difference... the cleric legs give +intelligence
which is totally useless to a cleric. Take the +wisdom... IMHO you should
always take the Wisdom above just about anything else. Another good point
of the gator legs is that they only weigh 0.2 (or was it 0.4?) , and if you
are anything like me you are always encumbered and it's nice to have such
nice gear weigh so little.
