Need to negate Force-type damage & Disintegrate.

Doesn't "Death Ward" protect against disintigration? I can't find the relevant description in the SRD.

Deathward protects against death effects and negative energy effects. Disintegration is neither.

How many 20th level Wizards have you met who were not immune to Magic Missile?

The traditional ways of protecting against magic missile are the shield spell (no good if the wizard doesn't win initiative) and the brooch of shielding (quickly overloaded). Spell immunity and spell resistance, also strong candidates, are cleric spells and not wizard spells. I don't make any assumptions about equipment because it's highly individual.
