Adamantine Body, 12 Dex ~250k budget, +GP enhancements advice is less important since they can be added on.  I know of this: The 3.5 Armor and Shield Special Ability Thread +1 because of Greater Magic Vestment.  Maybe +3 for convenience with armour crystals. No need for heavy fort since the Warforged feat that gives immunity to crits.  Improved Resilience?  Or is that nonlethal damage? Whatever. Soulfire is suspect due to being a caster. So Greater Burring perhaps for +3?  It's a melee character. Energy Immunity? Angelic? Which armor crystal? Adaptation is my guess.  At the same time though, Cleric, so Planar Tolerance is a thing. I dunno, what do you guys think?

Exalted is one to consider if being mind-controlled is a worry, since blocking that is generally the most important effect of its constant protection from evil.  Still, that's why you have Will saves.

Arguably the only AC that really matters, and if you're enhancing your armor through Magic Vestment anyway...     (Slagger: You're right that warforged respond differently to rust attacks and the like. It's not explicit what happens if, say, a black pudding hits a warforged, but it's implied that the warforged doesn't lose its plating, any more than a hit from an ochre jelly destroys a human's skin and leaves you looking like an anatomy text's drawings.)
