With the way Sneak is done in Skyrim, assassin builds are fun. Especially with archery.
I also enjoy Nightblade/Spellswords. Zap them with magic, slash till dead. Rinse and repeat. Makes for some interesting kill moves.

When I first started the game I went Thief all the way. Once I hit the 40's lvl wise, I branched into twin souls and destruction.
I personally find spell thief to be TONS of fun. You can always stealth an entire dungeon slitting every enemies throat, or use the swiss army knife of tools available to you.

Put me down for Spellsword, or Battlemage. Weapons, and Magic go together extremely well...

Stealth archer is always the easiest for me but magic can be fun.

Yeah archery is fun. Have you ever tried using 3 word slow time shout and firing off arrows from stealth. Depending on range you can get several arrows in flight before the 1st one even hits the target. Hilarity ensues when time speeds back up.
You can also fire two arrows from stealth, then Run PAST your own arrows to attack, and have the arrows strike the target at the same time you do with your weapons.

I have not tried this yet I never did to much with shouts on my stealth characters but I'll be going back to one to try this now

It took me forever to settle on a shout i could use. For a stealth character, like you pointed out, most didn't offer the impact needed to counteract the "Price" of being revealed.
Slow time though, even without dragon aspect or necromage (as a vamp) boosts, complements a stealth class perfectly in my opinion. When I am playing full bore assassin I tend to use it anytime I am discovered, usually cutting down every "witness" before I return to normal time.
Origionally I had relied on Etheral Shout, but that ONLY worked as an escape mechanism. While Slow Time can be either escape, or attack, defensive or offensive, depending on the situation.
I hope your results mirror my own.

Aura Whisper: You don't need Quiet Casting, and you don't need Nighteye when they Glow in the Dark! Other than that, I agree. Also, you can shoot an arrow for the exact same effect as Throw Voice without having to fight an Ancient Dragon/Priest.

I don't like to mix up classes. My way of playing is pure class: Warrior is warrior, no magic, no enchantment. Combat skills, nothing in magic and some in speech for example and maybe even alchemy. That's why I always end up playing 3 diferent characters, a pure mage, a pure warrior and a pure assassin with some thievery tendencies. 
I think I got used to play that way because of Morrowind and Oblivion, when they have class system (something I miss so much in Skyrim). I'm sorry for those who play the "jack of all trades" type of character, but I think that kind of character is too much NO-RPG for me.

Nightblades are extremely fun to play as. Jus' sayin'.
