The question differs from normal 3.5 a good deal due to PF exclusive monsters Additionally, there are some changes to the undead templates. Undead are squishier (d8 instead of d12), they lose energy immunities (thanks to being under defensive qualities) and oddly enough, keep fast healing and SLAs (save DCs suck thanks to 10 Charisma though) due to being under HP and SLAs rather than any category the templates remove (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/rules-for-monsters/universal-monster-rules).

One final change I noticed is Hydra (which effects the "classic" pryohydra) trades pseudo-pounce for actual pounce, which is bad as far as undead go (Pounce is a special attack and lost when made undead unlike pseudo-pounce's special quality that improves natural attacks).

Zombie dragon remains one of the best and most badass mounts one could have.

Badass yes, best? Dragons still have poor HD/Power ratios.
