Re: A nice commander
IMO, if you're just playing against the AI, the best thing for the guy is to cast the global enchantment "Gift of Health" and keep him inside your dominions. That should help him survive a lot longer.
As for armor, if you have some nice blessing, the cheap 5 Astral Shroud of the Battle Saints might work well (unless you already prophet him). Chainmail of Displacement is good, but you already have 30 def, and it will rise as time passes due to the heroic ability, so you're better off using something like the Robe of Missile Protection, or Robe of Invulnerability. Heck, even the Robe of Shadows for etherealness will work if you are using boots of stone.
My recommendation:
Champion's Trident
Spirit Helmet (his main attack)
Robe of Shadows (ethereal)
Boots of Stone (prot)
Pendant of Luck (luck)
Amulet of Antimagic (just in case)
... and gift of health.
I run pretty much the same setup on most games on my starting commander/prophet, with the exception of the Trident, and they usually survive until the end.
