YUO get Large creatures at that level right? or is it huge?
Our group frequently uses Dire Tiger and or Dire Bear, depending on the need for movement.
Big birds come into play often as well.

The wizard in my group prefers the oldest medium-size copper dragon form for the natural armor bonus, physical stat bonuses & the ability to still cast arcane spells (he's a kobold, so medium is the upper limit).
Medium-size wizards could go for the older large-size dragons.

Giants are good in that they still aloow spellcasting and you get to keep all of your gear.
In just one more level you get Stone Giant, the king of AC. At your current level though, don't get snowed by the lure of a Hill GIant. Go for Troll, their stats are better.
Of course, if you happen to be a natice outsider, you should go for Planetar or Pit Fiend.

Cooper dragon? I have to assume you're using the non-errattaed version. Anything over juvenile is out of the hit die range. even juveniles are hardly woth it. You get a 23 AC but lose the ability to wear magic items that require a humanoid form, and any items you carry when you cast get merged into you. The AC is hardly better when the 21 you'll get from Troll, but as a troll ou have higher strength and con.
My personal favorite as a spellcaster is to polymorph into a Pixie. With an 18 dex and 60' flying speed (good), gives me high mobility and makes my rays hit more frequently (not to mention a bit of extra AC from my new dex and size - I'm human).
On another note, what do people think of polymorphing into dragons. The official version of polymorph (in Tome and Blood) says that you polymorph into an average representative of the creature type. A small dragon (wyrmling) is not average, is it? It seems more likely an adult dragon would be the average representative (even the smallest of which is over the 15 HD limit) for a given species of dragon. What do people think of polymorphing into younger or older versions of a creature (such as dragons)?

For combat few shapes can compare with the Troll or later the Stone Giant.
For underground travel, the Umber Hulk is quite useful, for overland travel the Pegasus is a decent choice (can carry another character easily).
For scouting something small and harmless, like a common bird or other tiny animal.

Dragons are awesome, the psychological factor is just amazing.
(Man how often did I scare the hell out of my players!)
Stonegiant is a really good choice, as is the Troll.
But as you are a Kobolt it you will have a tough time to choose either of these forms!
