CB or Nova as synergi?

Hi, I'm currently leveling up CL/FO sorc, and I've maxed LM, CL and Lightning now, and wondering which skill is more useful to put my last 19 points into, CB or Nova?

I already have 1 point in CB (prereq.), none in Nova, and if my calculations are correct, I got 19 points left to play with (currently lvl 82, so 17 points from 83-99, plus 2 from Izual quest in Hell.)

Mainly I'll of course be boosting whichever skill I choose for the purpose of synergising CL/Lightning, but of course it would be smartest to boost a skill that might just be useful on its own as well.. So, any good advice on which skill is better? Personally I'm thinking Nova, but before I start sinking points into it, I'd like to know if there's a reason why CB might be better?

Edit: Current skill distribution:

1 Charged Bolt
20 Lightning
20 Chain Lightning
20 Lightning Mastery
1 Telekinesis
1 Teleport
1 Static Field
1 Warmth
1 Ice Bolt
1 Ice Blast
1 Frost Nova
1 Blizzard
1 Glacial Spike
20 Frozen Orb
1 Cold Mastery

If you're looking for an opinion on which is more useful on it's own, I'd say CB. It can cover a huge area at high levels and pick off lots of enemies in Baalruns etc, where others are already spamming high power skills such as hammers.

Nova, on the other hand, is not a skill I'm a big fan of. It has pretty low damage, even when maxed and puts you close to your enemies, which Sorcs should avoid at the best of times.

with charged bolt you will stay, cast and watch everything getting close to you but getting killed before hiting you. With nova you you have to teleport on top of them and cast, if the DMG is high enough they you not come close to you and die.
CB is a very good spell for boss killing if you can get close enough. I kill mephisto in less then 10 secounds casting CB, but i believe nova is more fun.

Nova is 100% offensive and CB is 75% ofensive.
