Arg! What PrC to take?

My character is in a position to choose between about 6 or 7 PrCs, all of which I'm somewhat interested in. I can't decide which one I want to take! We use Elements of Magic [Revised], an excellent unified magic system. This character is an exalten 5/mageknight 2/fighter 1 (a sort of bard/warrior/wizard guy) with an emphasis on enchanting weapons and healing magic. The PrCs:
1: Warchanter from CW (warrior-bard)
2: Tempest from CAdv (two-weapon master)
3: Streetfighter from CAdv (always-ready fighter)
4: Eldritch Warrior from the CBoEM (warrior with some magical/rune abilities)
5: Knight of the Chord from the CBoEM (warrior/mage with song abilities. This one gets abilities similar to the spells I'm already using, but is attached to an organization)
6: Song Mage from CBoEM (just like it says)
7: Elocator from XPH (A teleporting warrior/mage. Not likely)

This is for my siblings campaign, and the char is my DMPC. My sibs are pretty young, and tactically inept, and the character has mostly been supporting. Earlier he provided some much-needed melee support, but now he's mostly enchanting his bow and using that and ranged healing magic. His stats from slightly earlier in the game are in the Rogue's Gallery: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=112617

What kind of help do you want anyway? A min-maxed character? Or are you going after the flavor? In the latter case: How about rolling it out? There shouldn't be a wrong choice.
 



The Warchanter and Elocator are really cool, if that's your flavor. I don't know what an Exalten is, nor an Anima. I don't know much about the PCs, so it's hard to say.

Well, which of the PrCs fits his personality best? Does he have any particular personal goals or desires? Has anything interesting happened in his past (met an NPC from the PrC organization, for example) that might influence his decision?

Otherwise, I'd say go with his specialty and go with one of the following:

Warchanter
Eldritch Warrior
Knight of the Chord
Song Mage

It really depend on whether you want specialize his bard, wizard or fighting abilities, really.
