Fog is an interesting Spell in that it's mostly redundant with Silence. It's less accurate, and the only difference is that it inflicts the permanent version of Mute, Amnesia. It's also Mind-elemental instead of Body-elemental, which can be helpful. Unfortunately, this is also the version of the Spell you'll actually see some enemies using. If you want to make sure your enemies don't regain the ability to cast Spells at the end of the round, Fog is a sure thing while Silence isn't. You probably don't need both, though.

MUTE is rarely useful, but when it is, it can turn the tide of battle dramatically. Few Monsters cast Spells, and even fewer cast Spells you need to prevent. To make matters worse, many of those have high Magic Defense or resist Status. For the rest, MUTE will cripple their attacks if it hits. Best of all, Silenced creatures will still waste turns trying to cast Spells.
Silence is a very situational Spell. Not that many Monsters cast Spells, and a lot of those that do cast Spells you don't need to worry about. There are a few exceptions, but many of those have high Magic Defense or resistance to Status. Still, there is little more amusing than hitting Marilith with Slow1 and Silence and watching her swing ineffectively once per round.
