As Yggdrasil said, the Multiclassed Thief/Mage is a powerhouse, especially when Elven. Slightly different is the Swashbuckler->Mage, useful for the AC and THAC0 bonuses that Multiclasses don't get, and it also reaches higher-level spells much more quickly than Multiclasses.

Multiclassed Thieves can eventually get 100% in all skills, but if you want to get the full Thief repotoire quickly, use Duals. A Swashbuckler->Mage and Assassin->Fighter make a devastating combo.
