I'm Playing a Druid. I've got access to wild shape as a 6th level. Im a caster druid and nor a front liner. Ive got natural spell. What are the best shapes for me to use? It'll be mostly utility and scouting.

Making yourself tiny, sans coffee golem, and flying would be the way to go. So a bat or a bird of some form would be your best bet, allowing you to hide easily, get better positioning, and raise your ranged attack bonus by a great deal, for those ranged touch spells.
EDIT: Depending on your DM's permissions, you may be able to qualify for the monster feat Flyby Attack, allowing you burst out of total cover, cast a standard action spell, and fly back into total cover. Whether this would be considered cheesy or not, it's not really my place to say.
For a melee guy, I personally like the Deinonychus/Megaraptor/Allosaurus chain, eventually throwing plant forms in for utility (Quickwood for a 60' reach, or Tendriculous for regen). For a caster, Air Elemental is pretty much your optimal form no matter what size.
