Nowadays, though, writers have started to explore Storm's control over EM energy for purposes that overlaps with Magneto's and Polaris's powerset. I'm just saying I want to see more of that. I don't believe that we will see that if she is put on the same team as them. I'm just saying its a risk, that's all.
Regarding Magneto's connections to the criminal underworld and all, Storm has connections like that as well. In Uncanny 383, we saw she had connections to the Russian Mafia. She should also have connections to the criminal underworld in Cairo. Heck, Pak gave her more connections to the criminal underworld with that Yukio story arc. She also has ties to Madripoor via Viper who has a grudge against her and everything. There are still many aspects of Ororo's life that remains shrouded in mystery. This can be fleshed out to give her connections to whatever a writer wants to link her to. Man, she really needs a solo title badly!
