Shadowdancer is hard to pass up at least 2 levels in even if you go mostly straight. You get Hide in Plain Sight, permanent darkvision, and an extra +4 on improved Uncanny dodge levels, D8 HD for 2 levels, and you don't loose many skill points of class skills from Rogue (6 SP, fairly good list of skills)
Streetfighter in CA is a fairly interesting 5 level PrC that's pretty good at combat. You get initiative bonuses, decent skills, full BAB, a sneak attack die, and you can blow off half damage from an attack as non-lethal damage. Eventualy gets stacking uncanny dodge, and 4 SP per level.
I also listed a few others, but those all work well. Realy depends on your total concept. There is even the Thief Acrobat if you want to be more bouncy.

I always wince when people say "Is this Pr-class BETTER than a core class?" Because honestly THAT'S not what Pr-class should be about.
But if you want my advice, just stick with Rogue overall. The only reason to get a Pr-class, is to focus on a specific aspect related to rogue abilities.

OGL stuffs (couldn't resist... 
)
Coal Tongue Raver from Bad Axe. It's designed to be a Barbarian/Rogue Multi-class with a focus on poisons. The Bar/Rog makes for a good combat option (rage plus TWF for flanking, aAND fast movement). You gain bonuses against poisons, can poison those that bite/swallow you, go into a rage if someone poisons you, and (best of all, fluff wise) later levels allow you to poison a blade as a move action by licking it, as well as spit poison for a blinding effect. You get +5d6 sneak attack for 10 levels, so you get full use out of your Sneak Attack damage. You also gain the vasion and Slippery Mind abilties.
Again, it's designed for a half-orc barb/Rogue, but the prereqs don't really enforce this (the skill prereqs can just as easily be reached with a ranger).
EDIT: Also comes with an interesting feat. If you spend 2 of your rages for the day, you can flank while raging and not take the -2 AC penalty (only for flanking though...).

Heros of High Favor: Half Orcs. Proves I fell for stereotypes (I wasn't expecting much), but it had surprisingly good content.
