I don't mean Master Specialist (Complete Mage 70). I hoped for an optimal choice for each school.
Abjuration
Initiate of the Sevenfold Veil (Complete Arcane 44)
Conjuration
Malconvoker (Complete Scoundrel 48)
Divination
Divine Oracle (Complete Divine 34)
Enchantment
Mindbender (Complete Arcane 54) - Only for 1 level.
Evocation
...
Illusion
Shadowcraft Mage (Races of Stone 120)
Necromancy
...
Transmutation
War Weaver (Heroes of Battle 112)

Hood - My first answer to all your build questions; past, present, and future. Speaking of which: Don't even need TO for this. Any decent Hood build, especially one with Celerity, one-rounds [Azathoth, the most powerful greater deity from d20 Cthulu]. Does it bug anyone else that we've reached the point where characters who can obliterate a greater deity in one round are considered "decent?"

For Evocation I'd submit Spellwarp Sniper. Nothing like a spellwarped Wings of Flurry to really teach your foe a lesson.

What about Incantatrix?
Even though they're theoretically affiliated with Abjuration they don't seem to particularly exemplify any of its themes. They may be one of the ultimate wizard PrCs but I'm not sure I'd call them the ultimate abjurer, if that makes sense. For Necromancy I tend towards Pale Master, but how good it is depends on what degree of free-reanimation shenanigans your DM is likely to allow - if the DM doesn't allow spellstitching Animate Dead and such, Pale Master is the king of endless hordes of undead (as PrCs go, anyway.) |

Evocation - War Mage. Hi, with Cold Spell Spec and all [Cold] spells, I do +5 damage per die  Have a nice afterlife! Necromancy - Not even arcane, as Bone Knight rocks. Hi, I'm undead without the drawbacks! -THWACK- Transmutation has a shit ton...War Weaver, which is really more in the grey area of Incantatrix as it simply makes any wizard better (a meta-specialty if you will), same with classes like Fatespinner or Swiftblade, as they fuck with chance and time respectively. |

I am constantly amazed by how many DM's ban Tomb of Battle. The book doesn't even exist! Quotes: By yes, she means no.
That explains so much about my life. hiicantcomeupwithacharacterthatisntaghostwhyisthatamijustretardedorsomething
Why would you even do this? It hurts my eyes and looks like you ate your keyboard before suffering an attack of explosive diarrhea. If using Genesis to hide your phylactry, set it at -300 degrees farenheit. See how do-gooders fare with a liquid atmosphere. |

Abjuration - Abjurant Champion
-This class really exemplifies the Gish as a whole.
Divination - Unseen Seer
-It has some illusion application as well, but the advanced learning really goes the distance when learning divine only divinations
Evocation - Elemental Savant
-Exemplifies in the sense that it is really only USEFUL for evocation.
Enchantment - Fatespinner
-Exemplifies Enchantment more than even the mind bender, screwing with saves and the +10/-10 capstone really can help go the distance vs. big bads.
Illusion - Dread Witch & Nightmare Spinner
-the combo that makes fear effects star players, though it feels more enchantment for some reason.
Transmutation - Master Transmographist
-The absolute epitome of the polymorph school. doesn't get more Transmutation than that.

If Elemental Savant is for Evokers, than Argent Savant should be there too(Yes, Force Spells kinda dwell in multiply schools. But Evocation does have a healthy majority of them). For Illusion, I'm surprised, that no one mentioned the Shadowcraft Mage. The penultimate illusionist, get's even more reality, than the real evocation/conjuration  |

Don't get me wrong, it's probably my favorite illusionist to play, but it's so different from what illusions usually do that it seems odd to think of it as the archetype. Illusions befuddle, confuse, or deceive -- at least that's the core of it -- shadowcraft illusions destroy, create, etc. |

In that case, Nightmare Spinner? That could fit for Illusion, Enchantment, and Necromancy in ways.

For Evocation, we have War Mage (Dragonlance).
