It really doesn't matter. Will-o-Wisp can lower the opponent's attack, and give him a minor burn each turn. You can really cripple a physical sweeper with it. And the point of Confuse Ray isn't really to do damage, it's to stop him from moving. Same thing as Attract, only with a little damage bonus. That's why it works better that Attract. Also, Attract is limited to the different gender, but I saw teams that are all females, that will render it useless.
Just be careful not to burn a pokemon with Guts, like Heracross or Swellow (Taillow in your case).
