You could take a fighter because Eldritch Knight levels stack with fighter levels for fighter bonus feats.
I would even suggest a CAD for first level. You'll get some interesting class skills and you were never going to wear medium armor.
Even so, an Urban Barbarian might be good. So might the Freebooter Archetype of the Ranger.

The entire point of going as an aasimar eldritch knight is so that daylight qualifies as your third level SLA, allowing you to advance into the prestige class with only one level of wizard or sorcerer. Therefore, you need to take the core aasimar.
If you are building for PFS, doublecheck Additional Resources before you include something in your build.

If it's not PFS, you still need to go core aasimar, but you have a bit more freedom in traits and abilities. If you're going angelkin, you're locking yourself into five levels of wizard or six levels of sorcerer.
Consider paladin + sorcerer. One level and you get smite evil, a powerful boost to attack rolls 1/day as well as the ability to ignore that foe's DR; two levels and you also get your charisma to saves. Consider also the Noble Scion (war) feat, which lets you use charisma for your initiative modifier.

this! the beauty of the (base) Aasimar EK is that you can enter the PrC at 2-3 level! based on the race's bonuses you're best bet for casting is Sorcerer (although the slightly slower base progression is accentuated by the lost caster levels)- i'm particularly fond of going Sohei 1, EK 1, wildblooded sorc [empyreal] 1, then 9 more levels of EK... then you get a lot of mileage from Wisdom; pally/base sorc is also very good (as mergy mentioned) but in a high Cha build the 2nd pally level is so good that you really have to way putting off EK carefully (the choice largely depends on anticipated level range- you'll miss 9th level spells that way, but low to mid-level its probably worth it).
