One more point about bard spellcasting -- you are right, the number of spells a bard can cast per day is kind of low, topping out at about four per level.  However, consider the Craft Wand feat.  For a sorcerer (the canonical spontaneous caster) I think Craft Wand is not so great; who needs a Wand of Fireball when you can cast it 7+ times per day already?  But for a bard, I think augmenting your spellpower with a Wand of Hold Monster would be quite effective.  You'd have plenty of firepower, plus decent HP, decent BAB, good saves, and phenomenal skills and special abilities...But there I go babbling about bards again.  I'll stop now.  Anyway, you should play the character that makes you happy -- there are lots of fun tricks you can play as a rogue spellcaster as well.  The old sneak-attack-with-the-ray-of-frost is always a crowd-pleaser, after all.  So whatever you do, I'm sure you'll have fun!</blockquote>
