Given that the two important stats for a mage are spellpower and willpower the staff of the lost is better. It gives you the equivalent of +25 spellpower and the equivalent of +15 willpower. On the other hand, the spellfury gives you only +24 spellpower and only +4 willpower. Besides, the 50% spirit damage bonus for your spells is much better than rapid aim for your staff especially if you have lots of spirit based spells. Regardless, I think you should still buy the spellfury and give it either to Anders or Velanna as I am sure your character is probably swimming in gold by now.

Spellfury - Base 10 Spellpower. Also gives +4 Magic (for +4 Spellpower), and has +20 Spellpower. Grand total of +34 Spellpower for equipping it.
Staff of the Lost - Base 10 Spellpower. Also gives +10 Magic (which equals +10 Spellpower), and +15 Spellpower. Grand total of +35 Spellpower.
In other words, both are roughly equal in the Spellpower department. The question, then, is what else they bring to the table. Spellfury shoots it's Staff Bolts faster, and increases Combat Mana Regen, so it's nice for keeping Spell Might or Shimmering Shield active. The +4 to all Attributes also gives nice all-around bonuses, such as Health, Mana, Mental and Physical Resistance, etc.
The Staff of the Lost, on the other hand, gives you more Mana. This means that you can cast more spells before you have to wait for your Combat Mana Regen to give you enough Mana for a spell. Also, it's boost to Spirit Damage is an excellent boost, as some of the best spells in the game do Spirit Damage (Mana Clash, anyone?
).
In the end, my final choice would be to pick up Spellfury and use that until I can get the Staff of the Lost, then switch to that.

Thanks for all the feedback guys I think I'm going to go ahead and buy Spellfury even though I may not need it. I'll probably stick with Staff of the lost for most of the time and just give spellfury to Anders.

They are actualy about the same, each is better for differant things. Spellfury is better for a healer mage controlled by the AI since it will heal, has a decent combat manan regen for healing and teh rapid aim will help its dps when its not healing. Lost staffs is better for Warden Mages or offensive mages, eespecialy for those ones who are heavy in the Spirit Tree (Mana Clash, Virulent Walking Bomb, prison etc) its also worthmentioning that the max +50% is actualy the cap you can get for differant damage types damage for mages. Anything abouve +50% just reduces opponets resitance to it I hear so Putting Lost Staff with Soulbound ring for 150% extra spirit damage dosnt work. It will still only do +50% maximum.
