i carry both. i use the blizzard stick for the freeze when one on one and the mega when a big group is about. it kind of depends on if there are powerful birds in the group or not. also if i am in a high level dungeon, or farming in the mid levels.
i haven't done formal testing, but when killing bosses i think the freeze works a bit and everyone takes less dmg.
p.s. i listen to ipod while playing. didn't even know the blizzard made annoying noise, lol
