Knight of the Chalice is good against demons and Hunter of the Dead is pretty good against Undead. Neither is obviously better than straight up paladin though except in their narrow range of expertise. Pious Templar offers continued smite progression and better saves.Really, however, the core paladin class is the only way to maintain all of the paladin abilities.Pious Templar gives up the mount progression and lay on hands abilities for slightly better smiting, slightly better spellcasting (if nothing else, the Templar gets its highest level spells slightly sooner and also has a couple of low level spells from paladin).Hospitaller gives up mount progression and a little bit of spellcasting but gets some bonus feats.If your DM doesn't require you to actually have the domain (the prerequisites are at odds with the flavor text and are oddly worded), Warpriest is a promising prestige class for paladin.Properly power-gamed (for instance, Pal 6/Ftr 1/Divine Crusader (strength or mysticism) 4/Warpriest or Hospitaller 8 or 9 increasing Divine Crusader levels), Divine Crusader works well for paladins, however such a character is really a Divine Crusader rather than a paladin and functions as such.</blockquote>
