    Red Upgrade, because Crit Damage is more valuable than what blue upgrade gives (Max damage). Thats the case with most weapons honestly, the only thing you truly may want blue upgrade on is Magic weapons, but even then people are switching to Red upgrade for Tribolt Wands because Critting with a Firebolt is stronger than more magic attack.

    Late game Crit damage > Max damage because monsters have high protections and Max damage is stopped by their Defense/Protection while Crit isnt.

    Hm do you know how much MA I must have in order for crit to be worth (r6 for example) on tribolt wands?

    ~400 MA is the usual point after which mages switch to red upgrades. It doesn't seem to affect staves as much, but wands may get a few k crit damage increase. Better results with MA and casting speed reforges.

    Red for chain blades. Great incrase in damage for Chain Impale and Chain Sweep.
