T9 helm, vs Triumph emblem helm?

At the moment, I'm tossing up between the following:
Hood of Fiery Aftermath
and
Khadgar's Hood of Conquest
.
So, I fully recognise that one is 50% more expensive than the next. But all things considered, am I likely to want to aim for a T9 bonus at all, or should I be gearing in ilvl245 Triumph gear all around?
I'm planning on purchasing the T10 2pc (probably shoulders and gloves) with my Frost emblems, just as soon as I run another 2 months of heroic dailies. *cough* So whichever helm I purchase with triumph emblems isn't likely to be replaced anytime soon. And for the record, it's going to replace my current
Sea King's Crown
*hides in shame*, so either will represent a very significant upgrade.
Any thoughts on the choice will be appreciated.

Thanks Fyuu, I was leaning more to the off-set piece - it's definitely more of an increase statwise, more marginally so if you factor in a 7.5% spirit bonus to crit (i.e. half the 2pc T9 bonus).
If the +hit is going to be an issue (and I haven't looked and planned out gear that far ahead yet), do you think the 'healer' helm is better then?

4PT10 > 2PT10+2PT9 > 4PT9 > 2PT9.
Note that 2PT9 is mediocre at best for arcane.
Is 2PT10+2PT9 better than 2PT10 + 2 x ilvl245 though? I'm not that impressed by the T9 bonus.
You can also get T10 gloves for free from Toravon.I wouldnt spend my emblems for gloves.Trying your luck in voa10 class runs is better.
I'll take that on board. My current gear is too low for anyone to consider taking me into VoA, but Alliance on our server has WG about 60% of the time, so I've got better than even odds at having a go, once I get a couple more Triumph pieces. That'll save me a month of heroic grinding :)

If you can get 'em from VoA, great, but I never count on RNG swinging my way. I just go with the flow and if I happen to get lucky, bonus!
RNG, heh, I'll be glad if someone takes me along for the ride... *mutters something about a certain gearing app* -__-;;

It'll depend on the specific items.
At the moment, I'm aiming at:
Head:
Hood of Fiery Aftermath
Shoulders:
Bloodmage Shoulderpads
Chest:
Merlin's Robe
Gloves:
Bloodmage Gloves
Leggings:
Relentless Gladiator's Silk Trousers
The latter is because I've got spare honor and arena points from random BGs, and will have enough arena points by next week. I've already got Merlin's.
The 2pc T9 alternative would be to swap the head and leggings for Khadgar's
Hood
and
Leggings
of Conquest.
T9: 184 stam, 184 int, 64 Spirit, 64 hit, 72 haste, 235 sp, 80 crit, two yellow, one blue socket with +7sp bonus (head bonuses are identical)
Other: 267 stam, 176int, 74 hit, 82 haste, 280 sp, 80 crit, one red, two blue sockets (ignoring resilience)
+83 stam, -8 int, -64 Spirit, +10 Hit, +10 Haste, +38 SP (after considering socket bonus)
I don't think that I'm that Spirit heavy anywhere else, but if I've got 300 Spirit elsewhere, the T9 bonus is worth, what, 45 crit. Seems all about even. Otherwise, I bite the bullet and avoid the gladiator leggings, and fork out for Bloodmage Leggings instead, and pick up Triumph shoulders.
