Truthfully, there is not one school of magic better than the rest, each has it's own abilites and weaknessess. Conjuration is good for mages, as it allows you to summon a monster for your enemies to beat on, and for you to escape. It's also good for spellswords, as you can conjure your own weapons. Restoration is excellent all around, as it restores health, Fatigue, and all attributes. Illusion is good for weaker charactors, with it's ability to hide the caster, and improve how people feel about them. But also it can confuse enemies, and light your path. Destruction is a must for any magic user, with it's devestating elemental spells, and ability to damage health and attributes. Alteration is one of my favorites, as it can open locked doors and chests, as well as shield you from damage of all types. Mysticism was taken away with Skyrim, and it was a good choice. With only the usefull powers of seeing living creatures through walls, and soul trap, the rest were just parlor tricks. Although, Telekenisis was usefull with the Welkynd Stones. This is just a brief run-down of the schools, and it's up to you to decide what you want, depending on the situation and your personal preference.
