20 dmg better IMO, crit only chance.
IMO, damage because its a mage. You'll only need crit if your after PvP, but since its an event mage then damage is a lot better.
BTW, is that mage named Wyvern? :)
Damage is more worthwhile. At low levels, your crit chance is so low, you would never break even on total damage output. Especially considering that +20 DMG is a large increase at low levels. With crit values below 10% for sorcs at low levels (I'm assuming somewhere between level 10-15), you would need a +30% crit or more to make up the difference, based on my rough math.
Consider these statistics, based on 100 attacks from a mainstream geared level 10(give or take) sorc. Assume auto-attack damage only and that crit does 200% damage of a normal auto-attack.
Crit based build (+15% Crit):
DMG: 60
Crit: 30%
Total Non-Crit Damage: 70 * 60 = 4200
Total Crit Damage: 30 * (2 * 60) = 3600
Total Damage Output: 7800
DMG based build (+20 DMG):
DMG: 80
Crit: 10%
Total Non-Crit Damage: 90 * 80 = 7200
Total Crit Damage: 10 * (2 * 80) = 1600
Total Damage Output: 8800
Keep in mind, this is auto attack damage only. Skill damage is based on your DMG stat, so this disparity would be magnified even more.
Here is a chart for quick reference. Note that this is just a rough calculation and that there are more in the game (like armor/hit rate/procs/etc) that needs to be considered.

Kalizzaa! Are you coming back? :)
Go for DMG, if you really want some crit you can use Ribbit AA to boost you critical a bit

Believe it or not, for a low level farming Sorc, I preferred a DEX primary, INT secondary build, as it gave more DMG, more Crit and more HP. Obviously, this build doesn't scale well as you lose out on Bonus DMG %, which is pegged to your primary stat (INT).
But, for a pure nuke'em low level Sorc, a DEX build is outstanding!
DEX will give more DMG and HP per stat point than INT, but you lose out on mana. I am not sure what the break-even level for Bonus DMG% is, but for lv10, DEX was my preferred build for Sorcs.
At lv15, you should see higher DMG, Crit and HP, but you would have to test it out. I only had tanks and rogues at lv15.
Dude of course 15% crit...

For a low level character it is better to go for damage instead of crit.
i actually will choose 15% crit.
20 damage seems kind of low compared to 15% crit.
