This is cool and I can think of many interesting uses and incounters and role playing oppurtunities for them. the best built I found for it is :wiz 7/rogue 1/shadowdancer 3/ pale master 10. this give 3 powerful and uniqu familiars: 1 incorporal shadow 2 pseudodragon (or other strong familiar from the improved feat) 3 a vampire or ghost as a servent. If you have other ideas of getting more strong but uncommon of servents. please help , thanks. I can imagine a vampire and a pseudodragon working closely together on one of my assignments and it interesting.

As a side note, Forgotten Realms' Lord of Darkness book offers the Zhentarim Skymage. It's an arcane caster class that gives good class features, +1/level caster progression, and a flying mount of choice within certain Hit Die requirements (and yes, it can be a dragon). I've made one to combat my 12th-level party of 6, and he along with a melee fighter (both 15th-level) tore them up nicely.
