I've found that a Transmuter (& to a lesser extent Necromancer) makes a good specialty wizard. Neither loses out on Evocation or Conjuration (or Enchantment for that matter). Transmuter loses Abjuration (Dispel Magic & Stoneskin are the only ones I really miss, but I have other spellcasters) & Necromancer loses Illusion & Transmutation (Mirror Image, Invis, & Haste are certainly missed, but I usually have 2 Arcane casters).
Trading away Abjuration spells is a low price to pay for an extra spell per level, IMO. A lot of the Abjuration spells can be cast by your Cleric anyway.
