Choose Mystic Adept if you're going far more combat, and you don't want to have to cast and sustain buffing spells on yourself in order to fight. Choose Magician if you need the expanded senses, as well as the ability to scout astrally.
The split between Magician and Mystic Adept is quite easy to define. Not only do you get more free Skills and Spells to start with, but it means you don't have to spend any of your Metatype Special Attribute points increasing your Magic - and you NEED as high a Magic as possible, as it's what you'll be rolling for almost everything you do. If you're going Awakened, go full-bore - I know those lower Priorities look tempting, but putting A for Magician/Technomancer, and B if you're Aspected/Adept is VITAL. If you're not, just skip past this section to the next 18-point font header and don't worry your pretty head about it. Deciding whether or not your PC is Awakened influences everything else, and should be decided on initially. Really, this is THE priority that must be chosen first.
