Protection From Evil is a useful spell at low levels. Its two main advantages are the AC bonus, and the protection from mental control (though that last is somewhat limited).
By the time you reach 6th level, odds are you'll have a Protection ring, which will make half the spell obsolete, since its AC bonus doesn't stack with the ring.
I'd almost do it in the reverse order, in fact, Protection from Evil at lower levels, then swap it out after you get the ring.
This train of thought brings me to wonder though, what do you plan to use for Armor Class at lower levels, before you find/can afford a set of Bracers?
