In my experience, most combat-oriented heroes started with IQ 8 or 9 in the old edition, whereas now its pretty tempting to have 9 or 10 or even 11 be typical because of the talents you get access to. ST for wizards feels pretty much unchanged from the original to me: sure, you always want more, but when you first start out that extra point of DX or IQ is much more valuable than 1 extra point of ST. So, wizards with starting ST of 8, 9 or maybe10 seem to be what my players have in mind.
