Best Caster Class for a returning player?

[Gnomish Elite]

So, I used to play a Mage on live and I'm excited to be back.

I'm looking to rock a Gnome or Erudite pure caster again for my return to the game. Any suggestions on which caster class would be ideal for a guy who is starting from scratch?

Also any pointers for making some plat for spells early on is greatly appreciated. I remember you could always sell bone chips for like 5pp a stack back in the day. Is that still a thing?
