Infusing with faint stone vs. Infusing with Magic stone?

The wiki pages left me rather clueless...
Background: I'm a sorcerer, carrying the Witch Tree branch to cast spells and using a sword in the off-hand for enemies with high magic resistance. I infused the branch with a faintstone, as was suggested in another question.
