This is by no means maximized, but off the top of my head:
Paladin. With a 34 point buy (holy crap!), you could get a super ridiculous charisma, strength, dex, and con. You're probably better off having a 13 Dex and buying +1 full plate though. Charisma to all saves makes you hard to kill that way, plus high AC and lots of healing on yourself.
*snip*
+1 this build.
Unkillable cohort ?
What about the spirit of your father who swear to protect you forever ??
Ghost Human Rogue 4
=> incorporeal + undead immunities + rejuvenation.
You can't lose this one !!!
What about an old woman who sees you as the chosen one (of whatever) and follows you from now on to see your destiny?

What do you get?
2 High AC Tanks with decent HP.
The Oracle can heal,buff and debuff and should be able to take a lot of hits.
A monk with Crane Style.
A CG cohort who's tough to kill? That's particularly tricky since the rest of the party is high-level and "unkillability" commits a lot of the cohort's resources - thus reducing other stuff like, y'know, being able to contribute to the party's skill, spell or attack abilities.
That said - you might consider a dwarf cleric. They're surprisingly resilient and yet still have lots to contribute to the party's resources.
Give a dwarf cleric a level of fighter. Gets a bonus feat and access to heavy armor, so your AC can still be pretty high and you only lose a bit of healing.

or Travel/Kowledge or whatever you want for utility.
He should cast Shield of faith in battle right away.

33 (With Shield of Faith up).
HP: 69 average
Paladin and monk would work, but not really with CG alignment (though at least one of the monk archetypes ignores alignment.)
Dwarf Cleric is good as listed.
Dwarf Inquisitor may also work. Bonuses to important stats.
Human Synthesist Summoner. They'd have to get past his alter ego.
Gnome Summoner. Focus on Con and he's tough to take down.
Halfling Summoner. Focus on Dex and stealth and he's tough to find.
Gnome Oracle. Bonuses to important stats.
In that case:
Nature Mystery can get you an animal companion and Cha instead of Dex for AC and CMD.
Battle and Metal can get you heavy armor and martial weapons.
Lore can get you Cha instead of Dex for AC and Ref saves.
Life can make you awesome at healing.
That's what I can think of for survivability.
Glad you like it ;)
It´s one of my current chars. I also took dual cursed, which is very cool, due to the reroll, but sadly you are not allowed to use UM.
You could also take a wolf as an animal comp. He will have lesser AC (28), but a useful trip attack.
Using halfling gives you 1 HP/lvl less. But you could take favored class for hp. Using gnome I would go for the racial favored class.
You could also dump str and dex to 7 and take a higher int or wis.
As you don´t really need to carry a lot you don´t need str.
Using Natural Divination and dex 7 still lets you have +2 iniative for 2 combats/day.
Spells I took:
1st - Protection from Evil, Murderous Command, Shield of Faith, Summon Monster I
2nd - Spiritual Weapon(really useful if your DM lets it work of cha), Calm Emotions
3rd - Summon Monster III
+Cures+Mystery Spells
Using Shield of Faith and Barkskin, you can easily have AC 33, your companion AC 34. Good luck finding enemies which can reliable hit this at lvl 6 ;D

i just want to point out that you are giving your GM a babysitter npc to cock block people. having a pally in the group with a gm who is a roleplay>rollplay mentality might be something you regret.
if that is the case then i would suggest bringing in a cleric or inquisitor
I'm more inclined to use Natural Divination for the bonus to saving throws. Winning Initiative is awesome, but I'm not sure it's better than making saving throws.
Ideally you'll have a way of safely summoning without being disruptive. Summoning is really really good. Especially for casters with limited spells known, because it's so flexible. I understand that different people have different styles though.
With such a high AC you shouldn´t really have a problem with being targeted.
SM I is just for utility (such as trapfinding and decoys when entering potentially dangerous dungeon rooms).
SMIII ist useful for the spell-likes. With 1 Spell you get Cause Fear, Stinking Could, Detect Evil and Aid. And the ocasional combat helper. More then worth the spell known.
@Nategar
Thats the beauty that is Natural Divination.
If you anticipate saves, you use it for your saves.
If just walking around expecting random encounters (which tend to be non casters, as casters rarely wandering aimlessly around) you use it for initiative.
If you are in a city with lots of skillchecks you use it to make that one important bluff/diplomacy check.
In regard to safely summon: Get Sanctuary instead of Murderous Command. Now they have to make a DC 17 Willsave and beat your AC ;)
