Morninglord of Lathander and Stormthingy of Talos get lots of offensive Domain Spells (fire-based for Lathander and lightning for Talos), so if you want your Cleric to kick some buttocks spellwise one of those is your best bet.
Painbearer of Ilmater is very defense-orientated in the choice of Domain Spells, I've got a Paladin of Ilmater 2/Painbearer X in my current party, and he's quite the tank when buffed with the right spells.
The Power Words that a Lorekeeper of Oghma gets at higher levels can also be very handy. I practically always choose a Cleric based on his Domain Spells, never the other faith-based abilities. Those skill-bonuses suck, unless you dual the Cleric like ZFR stated. OTOH, some of the spell-like abilities can be handy, like Ilmater's Endurance (temporary +6 CON) or Tempus' Strength (temporary +6 STR).
Pretty much each faith has it's merits and downsides.
