While I feel frost is much stronger than fire for leveling after about level 40, when I releveled a mage I went fire with as many +fire greens as I could find and it was ridiculous to the point where I could basically kill many mobs with a single fireball. Especially before level 20 I always felt frost was frustrating because frostbolt's base damage was noticeably lower than fireball and at that point you don't have a lot of tricks for kiting or such.
It really comes down to personal preference though. As long as you don't do something stupid like level deep arcane you're going to have the same issues with needing to drink and cursing your mana bar while leveling a mage. At least these days you don't need to spec Evocate or Imp Arcane Explosion to feel useful.
