Powered shot has AOE and stun
crippling shot slows targets
Vanish is good survivability and deaggro
Anatomy gives a nice crit bonus. Lots of wizards abilities require crits to pop off.
I will likely bring the Templar because I'll be playing HC and he can throw a few heals my way. Although later on if those heals become negligible I'll likely go with Enchantress for the CC.

None of the 3 followers will be useless, of course you have to understand that gearing them up appropriately for hell or inferno is a given.
Would you be able to survive inferno with shit gear? No. The same criteria goes for your follower.
As to answet the OP, I will use the templar as Wiz.
Can only equip rings, amulet, weapon / shield and some "Follower only" items you get from quests on them. Their armor / HP and survivability should be pretty good at all times.
If the templar dies easily at the later difficulties(inferno), which is a big possibility(unless you get awesome gear), I think Im gonna go with the enchantress.
Last I heard, follower dmg was an absolute joke.
I would definitely try to avoid anything pure dmg oriented.
more specifically, we've seen 'templar' dmg nerfed to being a joke, and he's not meant to deal damage in the first place.
his damage in the beta cannot be considered conclusive evidence to that the other two follower's dmg will be crap as well. [and they, on the other hand, aren't meant to be sturdy in the first place]
My Templar died in the beta once and came back by himself about a minute later. How does this work? They just come back automatically as a part of the mechanics of them?

Nightmare:
Hell:

seems perfect for Wiz imo.
I don't see a melee character working very well either so the survivability and single target DPS of the scoundrel seems perfect.

If the Templar can't stay alive in inferno, then he is useless and he isn't supposed to be useless.

A QUADRILLION MAGIC FIND is worthless if you can't kill shit!
For farming and the like I'll be going multiplayer, so no follower
What??
Templar, if he has good survivability. Enchantress, if he does not.
That might be the best argument I've heard thus far to not use the templar.
Though you could always turn sound off I suppose.
