Well I did an all-boss run (if you're doing a challenge run like this, may as well go the whole hog) so no skipping anything, and Upper Blightown is a must to get

Crown of Dusk is the only piece of armor I can think of that has specific benefits to a caster (raises Magic Power, lowers Magic Defense). I just went with aesthetics on my Dex/Int build, while keeping fast roll - Crown of Dusk, Maiden Robe, Silver Knight Gloves and Painting Guardian Waistcloth, and I think she looks great. Also wearing Bellowing Dragoncrest ring most of the time.
Weapon wise you've got a lot of choice. Great Scythe, Uchi/Iaito, Silver Knight Sword, Balder Side Sword and Ricard's Rapier are great when maxed and buffed with Crystal Magic Weapon.
For non buffable weapons, you've got the Lifehunt Scythe, Gold Tracer and one of my personal favourites, Velka's Rapier.
Having high dex also gives you the option of having a really powerful bow too.
I stopped leveling INT at (44 is needed for Crystal Soul Spear spell), and at that level, a weapon maxed on the Enchanted route will also be pretty beastly.
Standard catalyst is best until a certain level of INT (you'd have to check Wiki), at which point Logan's catalyst becomes stronger.
