I'm only planning on 1 archetype/class at the moment, so even though all three of your ideas aren't bad I'll probably end up with only 1.
Holy Dragoon: What would you give up from the dragoon for spells? If it's based on the Holy Knight, you can trade Holy Strike and one of the other level 2 abilities for Jump and Deadly Lancer. Anyway, I think someone else was working on this.
Dragon Knight: Seems like the tail sweep ability could be given up for a breath weapon.
Mounted Dragoon: Getting a medium sized dragon instead of Jump and/or Deadly Lancer might work. It would improve at levels 7 and 15. How much is the dragon companion worth? (keeping in mind that it'll be relatively the same power as animal companions/mounts)? This one seems like the best bet, to me.
For the Animist: I'll have to look that up, because one of the ideas I had was a Tamer archetype for the beastmaster that gave up the permanent AC and got the "Call" ability, and summons ordinary creatures.
Current ideas
Crossbow Specialist? (Archer, uses crossbow instead of bow, single shot specialty instead of volley type?)
Death Knight (Dark Knight, necromancy things)
Juggler (Chemist, juggles things, not sure what to do here since it's already based on throwing)
Spellthief (Thief, can steal spells, has to steal in order to cast. Gives up Sneak Attack?)
Soldier (Gunner, single rifle instead of dual pistols)
Tamer (Beastmaster, summon critters)
