I think that Beguilers would work well for Gnomes (says the guy playing a gnome artificer).

Personally, though, I don't like the favored class mechanic. It punishes rather than rewards, which strikes me as bad design.

If you want to stick with the idea of favored classes (and - if you do - you should ask yourself why... a rule for the sake of a rule is kinda pointless), I'd move to giving a minor bonus to characters who advance as their favored class... maybe a +2 racial bonus to a class skill every 4th level or something.
