'Better' is often very much a matter of opinion but here's one which
doesn't need a temporary file:

---------
#!/bin/sh
want=${1:-1}
got=0

for dev in `ip -o link | sed -n 's/[^:]*: *\(w[^:]*\).*/\1/p'`;
do
    got=`expr $got + 1`


    test $got -eq $want && {
    echo $dev
    exit 0
    }
done


echo =max$got
--------
