I think that depends on exactly what we're hoping to accomplish by splitting up the spell list...

If we just want campaign flavor, then it almost doesn't matter how we divvy up the spells, as long as no single subset ends up too disproportionately strong. But if want to encourage wizards to specialize in one tactical role or another (direct damage vs. buffing allies vs. altering combat terrain, etc.), then it makes sense to divide spells accordingly.
