Inquisition from Church Inquisitor is pretty nifty if you tend to keep up a lot of buffs.

Contemplative of course is if course also very nice for your choice of an additional Domain.

Divine Oracle, gives Oracle for a one level dip but that is not the best part of that particular PRC.

There are of course many more but I am currently away from materials.

Here's one of our handbooks on dipping Cleric 1: http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=2773.0

It has a section on domains.
If I say something about real world physics, and someone disagrees, assume I am right 90% of the time. This number goes up to 100% if I am late night posting - trust me, my star dust sibs.

I updated and formatted the info above, in the OP. I also added Rainbow Servant, and will look for more. If you have suggestions let me know.

I will be adding Warpriest next, and that will be all of them in Complete Divine. Fixed the warpriest. I had it wrong.

Warpriest (CD) grants either Glory or Domination, depending on whether you turn or rebuke undead (respectively).  It doesn't advance spellcasting at first level though.

Ordained Champion (CC) grants War (or another domain from your deity's list) at level 1, but it doesn't advance spellcasting at first level either.

Sovereign Speaker (FoE) grants a domain every level (out of nine levels) but also doesn't advance spellcasting at first level.  The domains are selected from among those offered by deities of the Sovereign Host, but the class can't grant more than two domains from any one deity.  (Fortunately, aside from the alignment domains, there isn't much overlap.)

Thanks Crimson.
I finished DotF, and started Draconomicon.  I will format Sovereign Speaker soon, i hope.

I can't find Sovereign Speaker. Am i misspelling it? where's it from?

I also added a few entries above. Is the format easily readable?

Sovereign Speaker is from Faiths of Eberron, p. 32 (end of the Sovereign Host chapter).

For the Dracolyte and Warpriest, do you have the exact wording of their Glory/Domination domain split? I'm thinking that a character able to both turn and rebuke undead (ex: neutral cleric with a dip in dread necromancer, or a rebuking cleric with the Sun domain) might get both domains.

Well, here's the wording for warpriest:
Bonus Domain: At 1st level, a warpriest gains the Glory domain (if he turns undead) or

Odd question, would taking levels of Legacy Champion give you more domains if you took it after Sovereign Speaker?

Bonus Domain: At 2nd level: Dragon*, Healing, Knowledge, Magic,  Strength, Travel, or Wealth

I have no idea why you seem to think Strength preferable to Magic or Travel.

I don't find it preferable, i just know of other ways to get the Travel and Magic domain, so i highlighted Strength on an impulse. That's all.

In my humble opinion, CO is haberdashery. Some say we're mad, but we can all agree we're hatters. Yes, we have potential to make very sophisticated hats, very fancy hats, be they dark or light. But the truth is that the color of the hat does not come from the group of us - our community doesn't directly produce hats. We simply give average head circumferences, list current fashion trends, and point out some shiny, obscure baubles to add to the latest hat line.
