SSS.
I'm a wizards guy. Over sorcerors, at least. Just something about that limited selection that makes me cringe. No variety, and not being able to learn something new when you discover that new spell in a enemy spellbook.
However I just took a relook at Monte Cooks Master of Sound in Dragon (the Epic Issue) which I think is really cool, but all of his spell-like abilities are based on Cha, which would put it in the realm of best used as Sorceror.
So, I don't know what's really the best things to select for a sorcerors spell list. I actually made a preliminary one but it's not here with me now, and I'm interested to see what you people prefer to pick over lesser ones that aren't as necessary. I'm interested in both a 'regular' spell list and a 'master of sound' one which prerequires 5 sonic/language spells when you can cast 5th level spells.
I'll have to change a lot though to get the prereqs for MoS PrC, but my generic sorceror spell list looks like this:
(MoS gives me the ability for disintegrate, dimension door, xray vision, and a 9th level spell as a one round action so I didn't include those in the spell list)
