I have never played as a mage in Oblivion, I always use a mix of archer and warrior. Archer for stealthy parts, warrior for when it all goes wrong.
Warrior primarily but once I master that I get into the other stuff. I enjoy slicing my enemies up like it's Thanksgiving.
Whatever the class, I always need a background in magic.
Wow then I voted it was a dead tie with 30% to the respective classes and 10% to "other."

I prefer archer followed by mage. I choose archer mainly cuasse mages are either uber and therefore too easy or their attacks are so situational you can't use them half the time. So mage is my support. I like the long-range classes cause no-one sees it coming and i would rather kill from afar than be killed from afar.
Warrior. Why? Because vikings were warriors that's why. Aside from that, I love playing stealth classes, I find nothing more satisfying than sneaking up on/outwitting an opponent.
Warrior. i love just breakin' down the door, mowing people down, then slicing a sniper in two right behind me where he thinks my blind spot is. though, occasionally, i will feel like being a bastard and killing my enemies by slitting their throats from behind or taking them out one by one with a pistol.
i love Wolverine uncaged.

I am a stealthly blademaster. I sneak behind the intended target, slit their throat, then steal all their worldly possessions. Occasionally I play as a stealth mage, but never pure mage, giant armored warrior, or archer.
In Oblivion I was a poltergeist and a twat, boldly walking up to people and punching them in the face, but because of my 100% chameleon stealth armour, they though I was either the wind, 'damn rats', or the effects of too much beer.
I'm sure my exploits have caused an urban legend in Tamriel, about how, on windy nights, when you've had a little too much to drink, invisible rats will shoot you full of arrows, set you on fire and steal your pants.

Usually a combination of mage/thief like characteristics (mage for main DPS and countering enemy spellcasters, Thief for getting away from sticky situations and for using that knife to poke some seriously painful and debilitating wounds if the enemy manages to get close)
But this also depends heavily on the 'magic' level of the game. If the best spell is a simple AOE with damage comparable to a sword-strike, magic will inevitably take a supporting role dues to the lack of *Umph* in it.
On the other hand, if the best spells involve dropping down meteors on your target, summoning extra-dimensional demons and ripping out the souls of my enemies, what need is there for anything but pure magical pwnage?
Never finished Oblivion, but I did began to play it as a close-combat expert, just for the variety.
