The 2 reasons that I prefer Lathander over Talos:
1. They are Good (IIRC talos must be Evil?). This allows the abuse of certain good-only spells, like Holy Word.
2. All of the AoE spells are fire based, allowing the abuse of Spirit of Flame. Also, having simple meteor swarm is nothing to huff at.
Oh, and by adding another level of paladin your friend can get immunity to fear.
Definately go with full plate with your cleric, and take 12-14 dex. The best dex-oriented armor will be worn by your friend.
