[PFS] Equipment advice for a mid-level swashbuckling paladin?

[mechaPoet]

Hey all, I have some gold to spend in PFS on my paladin. This paladin continues to be the highest level character I've ever played, so I'm kind of in unfamiliar territory when it comes to what kind of gear to look for.

Here are the basics:

Paladin (Oathbound) 7

Notable feats: Weapon Finesse, Dervish Dance, Amateur Swashbuckler (Deed: Opportune Parry & Riposte)

Stats:
13 STR
21 DEX
14 CON
7 INT
7 WIS
18 CHA

Magical Gear: +1 Keen Scimitar, +1 mithral kikko armor, Cloak of Resistance +1, Belt of Incredible Dexterity +2, Headband of Alluring Charisma +2, Ring of Featherfall, Amulet of Natural Armor +1

I have a little bit over 5k gold available.

Gear I'm considering:
-Swordmaster's Flair: this looks like a good choice, and gives me something else to spend panache on. All the varieties look useful, so I'm not really sure what the best one to pick would be.
-Plume of Panache: this is cheap and a good way to get more panache, which is useful because I start the day with only 1 panache, unlike a real swashbuckler. The only thing I'm hesitant about with this one is that the description seems to have a typo with a missing word, so it's function isn't necessarily the clearest...
-Cloak of Resistance +1: I think I might actually benefit from replacing this? I feel like my saves are high enough as a Paladin such that I could afford to have a more interesting item in the shoulders slot. I may not have enough gold for the really neat ones yet, but I'm open to suggestions on whether to keep it or get something cool later.

If I could get some answers before the game I have tonight, that would be wonderful, but not required. I'll happily take suggestions after the fact, and I should have even more gold to spend if I survive tonight. :)

I would advise keeping and eventually upgrading the cloak of resistance due to higher tiers forcing a lot of saves ( and the only thing worse than a dominated pally is a dominated swash pally) also in regards to flair the handkerchief is rather useful or atleast for my swash it was

Other things to consider (suggestions for later)

Jingasa of the fortunate solider
Saving up to have a + 3 weapon bonus to get around pesky non evil Drs
Ring of protection
Haste boots
Saving up for celestial armor

Swarmbane clasp, something you should definitely look into in PFS play. You can never be 100% sure that your table will have casters with AOE spells when you have to wade through water and leech swarms start coming at you.

As mentioned the jingasa is pretty good. You wont need it as much as a pally (unless you dont have heroes defiance prepared, its just too good). But cancelling that random x4 crit from the BBEG is useful.

Pearls of power lvl1: get a few for heroes defiance.

Other mundane stuff that are very situational but cheap enough that you wont worry about the costs, but you will be glad you had when the conditions are right.

Just the other day we ran a scenario where it was suggested there was a underwater part. I had a hunch of air crystals that i split up with the party just in case. Soon enough we found ourselves stuck underground with water filling up the room with monsters swimming in for underwater combat. What would have been a deadly combat with a timer became trivial after I drank my potion of touch of the sea (50gp) to finish combat quickly, and everyone still had air crystals to use while i looked for the key to get us out of there.

You need to fly

The flair is amazing. Reach is a huge game changer in any fight, especially since you should have combat reflexes.

You need to fly.

The jingasa is a good buy.

You need to fly. Boots, potion, wand you hand to the caster, flap your arms really really hard... you will start running into enemies that are out of reach of regular melee.

Blue Scarf Swordmaster's Flair is wonderful, IMO. Having natural reach is just so useful in so many circumstances. I used mine all the time for my swash.
