Wife - Mirabella or Feanora?

[Dabrinko]

I've read about several "wife"-tactics, and that if you find several items, the sea dog (with the swiping attack) becomes quite an offensive asset, especially with a certain belt and the pirate wife, mirabella.

I have also tried the (in my former game) royal snakes with feanora and Royal snake ring, which were awesome until I switched to the elven wife.

Now, in this game...which tactic gives more punch?

Mirabella + "good for pirates items" + Sea dogs ("hordes" in the pirate castle) (Items include Chieftain's belt, jackboots, pirate flag (jolly roger?))

or

Feanora (in frog form) + Royal Snake ring + Royal Snakes? I also found the great druids staff, upgraded it gives +50% attack to animals (Royal snakes included, I suppose)

I play a wizard.
