prestigious Ranger Bard Paladin

reading the Un Arc I ran across these 3 varient classes. I was wondering what your experience was with them? What your over all opinion of them was/is? And mechanically any bonuses/disads they have over running just the base class.

I actually like the Prestige Bard a lot. It doesn't have the flexibility of all around jack of all trades such as healing and arcane spells at the same time that the base class does, but it gives them a lot more flexibility in how they are built in my opinion. It can allow the flexibility of what options you want as you gain levels to get the pre-reqs for a bard, as well as far more variability with spellcasting overall and spell powerlevel. In many ways I think this allows a more powerful bard as the end result which can be satisfying for many players.

Didn't care much for the prestige Paladins/champions, though I suppose that it also allows for more flexibility to be whatever alignment you want and other choices.
