Well... first off, don't know whether you have it, but Savage Species does indeed have an illithid class, the Illithid Savant on pp 77-79. Furthermore, if you want to invest the time and money, hunt down the 'illithiad' from 2nd edition. Has some nice info as well...
I do think that the most fun would be to make a monster class of 15 levels of the illithids. That way, with differences in feats and other choices along the way, the PC's will become quite different anyway. If you don't mind the power, use the Gestalt rules from AU and allow the PC's to 'dual class' in 'Illithid' and a core class of choice....
