You can choose your gear based on how you want your defenses. If you use daggers, you may prefer using strider gear because the balanced defense will help you up close with the melee. If you use a staff, you will be farther away, so you would rather have mage armor to protect you from ranged spells. Personally, I don't see much point in using a staff with magick archer, since you will only be using magic, but have less magic growth than the mage or sorcerer.
