Pathfinder 1E Class advice for Rise of the Runelords

To favoured enemies specifically, I generally like aberrations and magical beasts, mainly because these creatures seem to spread across all levels. Something like Goblinoids seems great at L1 (especially in RotRL), but fades into obscurity much like the Sleep spell, pretty quick (and a favoured enemy doesn't trade in like a L1 spell). Giants might be nice at higher levels (maybe a second choice, rather than the L1 selection) - once they come in, they don't seem to go out of style. Undead maybe, as something encountered on occasion, but I don't associate the AP with Undead. But they're referenced in the Guide, as indicated above. Evil Outsiders at higher levels, maybe.

Our Ranger seems to make out all right at low levels without his Favoured Enemy(Magical Beasts) coming up much to date, but he'll hopefully see more use of the class feature going forward. Having taken the Monster Hunter trait, his first two favoured enemies were pretty obvious. Trading off for the Woodcraft racial trait makes the first Terrain a pretty easy choice too.

I am finishing up a CotCT game right now, and we have the next GM ondeck setting up Rise of the Runelords.

I was thinking of playing a Changeling Multi-class Ranger/Inquisitor. Originally I was thinking she would be an Undead Hunter, but without knowing if a lot of Undead are in this AP that might be a waste.

Does anyone have an recommendations as if I should go Heavier w/ Ranger or Inquisitor?
Also what are some of the more useful Favored enemies to think about with this campaign?

I've been playing to level 5 (dwarf Fighter 1/cleric 4) and have not seen one undead so I would not bother with undead to start with.
Aberrations, evil outsiders or humans are your best bet early on.
I think Inquisitor could be interesting, the right ranger could be useful. It really depends on your party mix and how many in your party. You will need healing.
