Staff has better AOE (bigger AOEs = hit more guys), IMHO.
StJ has better single-target damage (and reasonable AOE).
StJ has a neat combo mechanic that you will use if you are trying to do the most damage.
Staff has a combo mechanic that you will use less if you are trying to do the most damage (you will preserve, not release, 3 stacks of form of body for the damage buff).
The best attack chain in staff does not involve the T9 attack, but in StJ it does. So if you like T9s consider StJ.
Basically it comes down to being slightly better at AOE and slightly worse at single target if you go staff. If you like the staff animations and the weapon models, go for it. Remember however that staff has redraw.
I just can't seem to decide between these two for a concept/character. I'll end up having at least one of each at some point but I want to focus on one character and I can't decide which set he should use.
Would anyone mind informing me of the pros and cons of each set or their general opinions of their experiences with the sets? Which seems to be more fun and/or stronger?
Thank you for your time.
