I'm playing in a campaign tomorrow as a 16th level summoner. My eidolon will be my primary source of damage, and I am likely to ride it (it will be size Huge). What will be my biggest threats/obstacles and what can I do to avoid them? I have the normal starting gold amount for a 16th level character.
EDIT: This is a homebrew campaign, so I don't know anything about my enemies. However, my DM mentioned making a sorcerer and, as my character is a gnome, something about fading?
The biggest threat to your character will be small spaces. Huge eidolons can't go into small tunnels, for example. That means you lose out on your primary class ability for as long as you are indoors, dungeon crawling, or in similar situations.

I can use Transmorgify (4th-level spell) to overcome this. Are there any particular spells I should worry about? And how can I prepare for them? I will already be giving my eidolon spell resistance.

If you are a small sized Gnome, why even use a Huge Eidolon? You can easily ride a medium sized one and have no problems indoors.
As Cheapy would say, if you want to be a summoner and be great... be a Master Summoner! You will have a ton of paper work and a spend 3 times at as long as others per turn in combat, but you will have great DPS, enemies would never get to you if you win initiative and great battlefield control.
