Basic Overview You will suck at PvP at low levels. There's no other way to put it. If you do want to be decent at it though, I recommend you take the light or heavy armor build into consideration. Though as you reach a higher level and have more and more spells in your arsenal of doom, the robe builds will begin to catch up and even surpass the light/heavy armor builds. Now as in high level I'm talking at least 70+, preferably even 80+. Basically to be good at low levels, light or heavy armor is needed, and at high levels robes become the best. Light or heavy can be good at high levels as well, but you will fall behind a pure int eventually. Wizards are primarily late bloomers, very late.
