Which other classes would synergize well? Or should I just take the single class track?
Thanks,

The new PF classes are awesome by themselves. Witches are plenty strong, IMO.
Look up Gravewalker as a witch archetype.
I'm pretty sure there is an alchemist archetype that would fit the flavor of raising the dead to fight with you nicely.
If Hexes are only what you are looking for from the witch, then there's always the option of playing the Hexcrafter (Magus) archetype which gets access to them at a few levels later.
If Pathfinder has a flaw, its that multiclassing is a laughable options for many character builds, especially spellcasters. This was mostly an inherited flaw that came from 3.5, but Pathfinder jacks it up to 11 starting with the Advanced Player's Guide classes.
Because all of the witches hexes scale with her witch level and not a value that is shared between class levels the way that all martial characters utilize base attack bonus, the witch's hexes do not progress as you multiclass, meaning that your witch levels are basically dead levels in whatever build you're going for. A hex with a DC of 11 + your Intelligence is not very useful. Compare to the wizard, who only loses a few minor powers for multiclassing; a witch's spells per day and her spell list are balanced around having hexes.
So the short answer is that unless you're planning on going for Winter Witch (which doesn't require you to even leave the Witch class) multiclassing is a very poor option for a witch.
Well, I see the witch as basically a "multiclass" class already. So I don't really see a need to multiclass with it.
But if you really wanted to, I think alchemist is probably the best class to multiclass with it.
Taking a dip into Mindchemist alchemist to get ridiculous save DCs might not be a terrible choice. But usually full casters are most powerful when they stay in their class.
I would not multi class with the witch unless it fits flavor wise. I have a 6th level dimensional occultist witch that I was planning on taking a level or two in the diabolist class because that is what she did, she summoned devils since she was from Cheliax.
