Erudite from a pure stat standpoint is the best. Gives you the highest amount of Int + Cha (197 total) without any additions. High Elves get the second best Int + Cha (192). Stam is generally useful, but its a little more complicated for an Enc then other int casters.
Int casters get pretty terrible Sta returns, +25 sta at creation will give you ~50 more hp at level 60. If you were to give yourself +25 cha at creation, then once you hit ~200int (easy) that means if you also want to have a servicable cha for charming thats 25 fewer points you need to gear yourself with (maxing Cha or Int independently is easy, but maxing both is not as easy).
I can't specifically remember why, I just know I once read something that made me think "huh, if I ever make a enchanter I should go Dark Elf". Can't remember if it was because of an exclusive quest or something, however.
Edit:
I'm bored at work so I'll be back with some information. basically trying to figure out which stat (cha or int) can be maxed using the fewest number items.

If MMORPG players were around when God said, "Let there be light" they'd have called the light gay, and plunged the universe back into darkness by squatting their nutsacks over it.
