Tolkien himself.

I don't do fan-fiction, and I wouldn't simply quote something as an answer to a serious question if I did.

Unfinished Tales is the most complete compilation of Tolkien's comments on the five Istari. You should read it yourself. You'll find out which Valar each Maiar served, how they were selected, the nature of each, name origins, etc. There's a whole chapter called "The Istari."

I shouldn't and shan't spoil it for you.
