Henzell says success rates use the average of the involved skills, as well as Spellcasting.
So it comes down to: Are your aptitudes the same for both? Are you planning to go on primarily in Cj or Fire? (This is probably more of an issue for Ice, which has lots and lots of useful non-conjurations.) Do you have access to Bolt of Fire or IMB or Iron Shot?
If you're playing optimally, there's probably always one skill you want more than any other; the optimal solution would be to focus that and disable everything else. The game may throw things at you that change that equation; but... that's the game
That strategy is for smarter people than I am.

Everything memorized was castable at excellent except control teleport at great. I was training earth and evocations for the staff of earth that I had found as well as for Iron Shot that I had in a book. Tloc was on to get control tele up to excellent. Spc was on to funnel any excesses into getting things like Magma to no hunger, but the honeycomb wasn't keeping me from casting it that often. I admit that charms probably should have been off, though.
Even so, would I have been that much better off my funneling all the XP into one skill? I wasn't waiting for anything in particular.
