This is what I'm thinking of: Rogue 2/Swashbuckler 3/Fighter 1/Invisible Blade 5/Master Thrower 5/Ninja Spy 4 OR Rogue 4/Swashbuckler 3/Fighter 1/Invisible Blade 5/Master Thrower 5/Ninja Spy 2 This: At 6th and 7th level: You gain an extra sneak attack die and uncanny dodge (if I don't get it here, I will never get it) OR This: At 19th and 20th level: acrobatics +10 (+10 competance bonus to balance, climb, jump, and tumble checks), slowfall increased from 20ft to 30ft, jumping isn't limited by height, and hide in plain sight Saves stay the same as well as BAB. The choice basically comes down to ok abilities earlier or really good abilities later. Should also note that if I were to go for the extra 2 rogue levels at 6th and 7th it would push back all abilities of future classes by 2 levels.

I remember being able to take 10 and hit DC 40 to take a 10' step in place of a 5' for my Ninja Spy. This is very useful for being able to make full attacks every round. Keep in mind that even if you got Uncanny Dodge, any rogue of 6th level or higher could still catch you flatfooted and flank you. I think it's obvious what I'm suggesting...
