Assume a person with access to core, complete books and about 50% of the the Forgotten Realms books. Say that he is given the option to add one domain to a sorcerer type character (generic spellcaster from Unearthed Arcana picking from Druid, Wizard, Cleric, Wu Jen and Shuenja spells) for extra spells.

What would be the most useful choice?

Character role will be the only caster of not in a party of skilled tanks and thus needs to cover a lot of niches well.

Ideas?

Auto-response:
The spell domain.

Considered Response: The spell domain is still fairly powerful even with the vast spell selection you have already, as it gives access to all arcane (including Sorc/Wiz/Bard/Assasin/ETC) spells of 5th level and below. If you are getting a domain ability then another choice *might* be better, however.

Bards: Time gives Improved Initiative and Permanency, nifty nifty...
Clerics: Scalykind gives Shapechange, War gives PW spells, Alignment domains give nasty area nukes, Planning domain gives Extend Spell...
Druids: Summoning gives Planar Ally chain, thats about it...
Sor/Wiz: Planning gives Extend Spell. Incantatrix Cheese time...

Domains are just plain good. A better question might be to ask which domain is the worst, and even then it would take a long time to even consider the question (just because of the 50 some new domains in PGtF).

The above are just what come to mind immediately.

Luck......gives Miracle, which gives any divine spell 8th or less,notice:
A miracle can do any of the following things.

Duplicate any cleric spell of 8th level or lower (including spells to which you have access because of your domains).
Duplicate any other spell of 7th level or lower.
Undo the harmful effects of certain spells, such as feeblemind or insanity.
Have any effect whose power level is in line with the above effects.
If the miracle has any of the above effects, casting it has no experience point cost.

actually any domain that gives Miracle.

look for domains that give Nice divine spells....

Competition Domain...gives Divine Power and Regenerate and greater aspect of the deity
