Basically low level wands that are good when you automatically have a higher caster level.
Anything with a DC based off level
1) Magic Missile
2) Fireball
3) Lightning bolt
4) Acid arrow
...
What else.

Haste is a good one.
Enlarge Person.
Ant Haul.
Resist Energy.
Scorching Ray. (probably the most bang-for-buck except for Magic Missile)
Invisibility.
Vanish.
Keep in mind: most Level 1 wands are expecting you to get about 15gp worth of effect from each charge. So, if 15gp = 1d4+1 damage, or 1 round of invisibility, or the like, each time you increase the output or duration, you're increasing the efficiency.
Not to mention, self-crafting with Arcane Builder & Hedge Magician means you can turn out wands SUPER quick, and at only 45% of market price. That 750gp Magic Missile I wand now costs only 337.5 gp, a day of your time, and yields 50 shots of 5d4+5, or only 6.75gp / shot (1.35 / 1d4+1 in this case - an order of magnitude cheaper than standard cost).
Not that staff-like wand helps, but a wand of Enervation would be hilariously fun. And I guess it might benefit some to be able to pierce Spell Resistance with it.
