Just to add to the discussion: I think we can put to rest for now the questions of level one EQ vs level 4 EQ. There is no need to upgrade past level one. So looking at EQ vs Jump:

On the surface it seems like 1 jump spell = 4 EQ spells and since jump uses 2 spell spaces and EQ requires 4, then jump is a better choice.

But Jump spells only cover 6 tiles. EQ covers 8 tiles. Not a big difference but it can make it worth and span the number of walls that would otherwise take 2 jump spells. Then add to it that the path stays open permanently and there are real benefits to using EQ. The 8 tiles vs 6 tiles makes me really think of going with EQ as a rule instead of jump. but they can be applied differently situationally now because of that.
