Keeping in mind that I am presupposing how long my character will survive and how many high-level adventures she'll be able to participate in here ...
I wanted to go summoning Cleric for Pathfinder Society, with detailed notes on each summon and plans for how to use them ahead of time. Augment Summoning is pretty much mandatory for this build, and requires Spell Focus. Fortunately, Wizard gets Spell Focus instead of Scribe Scroll in PFS, and also has a Conjuration school ability that increases duration of summons so the level's not totally shot.
Here are the relevant variables:
* 14 Intelligence (I wanted the skill points for Knowledge skills)
* Non-human character (can't just take both feats at level 1)
* Deity does not grant Rune domain (and Separatist build does not interest me)
Is a 1-level dip in Wizard worth it, for the bonus feat and for the ability to basically UMD without taking the skill? I was considering taking the Magical Knack trait for Wizard as well, so I'd be able to use 2nd-level scrolls without making a caster level check.
Speaking of which, can you take 10 on the caster level check to use a scroll, if you're not in combat? And does a Wizard's prohibited school thing apply to Cleric spells also, i.e. would I have to use two Cleric spell slots to prepare a Wizard prohibited spell? If not, does the Conjuration school ability that increases the duration of summons apply or not?

@eltacolibre: You can play past L12--it grows more difficult as there are fewer players and official PFS scenario support stops at 12. You play sanctioned Modules and Adventure Paths sections.
@jewelfox: Summoner's Charm would only grant 1 extra round of summoning duration. UMD can be taken with a trait. You get a bonus feat at the cost of slowing down your main spell progression to pick up a secondary spell progression that will never improve.
imho: not worth the dip.
