Well with as many compilations as are out there its tough to say which is the best. Personally I like Seerah's UI when it comes to raiding on a mage. It was built by a mage, and works well on a mage. However, if you were to get yourself a unit frame mod, a bar mod, a buff mod, and a cooldown watcher, you'd have the bare bones mods you would need to raid effectively and with a clean and clear UI.

For Frames: I would suggest Pitbull, but if you want something ready to go Perfectraid by Cladhaire, or Grid are informational and clean. The advantages of Pitbull would be that you can set up however you like.

As far as bars, Thats not totally essential but it helps to clean up your UI and give you lost of space for placing unit frames. I would suggest bongos2. Its simple and infinitely configure-able.

The buff mod also helps to keep you aware of what you have and what you need. ElkanoBuffBars works good for these. This isn't really "essential" either, but its something I consider to be a great way to streamline a UI.

For Cooldowns theres really too many mods to list. Hourglass would be the main one that comes to mind. This can really help you plan your next casts, and then you don't have to watch the little gray pie clock ticking away on spell icon.

Heres a few compilations that I've used and liked on a mage:
PhotekUI-http://wow.curse.com/downloads/details/3459/
MirageUI-http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info3840-MirageUIInsomniaxRecompilation.html
SpartanUI-http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info7221-SpartanUI.html
SewellUI-http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info7110-SewellUI.html

I highly recommend Photek of all these, but they're all great.
