Well what kind of CR range are you looking for? With 25 HD any class you give it will probably be considered nonassociated, which increase its cr by 1/2. He has a high int, so wizard would be the first choice. His wis is also high..so you could always make him some kind of Mystic Theurge. You could probably get a decent caster level on him.

The 11th level cleric MM3 gives as an examplke is a good place to start, but for some extra bang you might consider adding the Half-Fiend template (CR+3) to it. The giant already has some nice spell-like abilities, and 25HD gives a crazy high caster level for all the nice Spell-Like abilities half fiends get. Mmmmmm 25th caster level Blasphemy. Nice.

Good call on the half-fiend. The bonus to int would make it even better as a wizard, and the outsider skill points combined with it's naturally high int would make him very skillful(14 pts per level). Especially if you create him with the elite array for stats. If you don't like half fiend take a look at adding the spellwarped template from MM3. Combine it with the vile feat that increase it's SR by 2, and all kinds of crazy things could happen. Either way, you could add around 20 levels of wizard for a +10CR. All that for a CR 28 monsters(if you add half fiend that is).

Well, give him class lvs and he automatically receives the elite stat array for free. Yeah, wiz seems to be the best way to go.
