If someone is using staff are they looking more for EE% or intellect for a magic class? I have a couple I saved that have 15+ int but wasn't sure if thats the right stat on the item.

Also, for classes obtained later on like warlock that use staff only, do they also use it as an attack weapon in tandem with their spell casting?

If using on melee class, yes EE

But can also look for mana and intelligence on staves. Suited for casters. You dont need EE on those.

Do you know if there is really a market for int staves or is it more niche and replaced with other stats?

People love casting so sure.

Adding mana on lower but lvl 20+ the more int, the better.

EE Staves are rarely used, however a Monk can benefit from using it if built Melee. Monks can also be Caster built, but more niche items required.

Int staves are worth more in comparison to EE staves.

There was a player years back that used EE staves on his Warlock, he was old and stubborn, however, he totally switched to casting once he tried it for the first time and never looked back.

I mentioned Monk because it is relatively quick to unlock if you have good luck since Paladin to Monk only has 3 keys, as a monk... 4 keys to unlock Ninja.

Considering 60+ int staves go for 300k+ and 220+ee staves go for less than 100k....I'd say there is a market for int staves.
