I am building a lvl 15 SAINT...

The saint gives wisdom to AC, would this stack with a monks AC Bonus?
my DM is inclined to say no but hasn't ruled yet.

Note: i am also planning to pick up Divine Grace/Serenity

At first i thought the was no way, but after looking at both abilities it is reasonable to argue that they would.

Monk AC is unnamed, while saint explicitly gives insight bonus to AC. Different types of bonuses stack, but at 15 AC isnt really the end all for defense esecially since you'll be missing out on using magic armor which can replicate the AC just as easy.

I was actually thinking the same thing about high AC, not terribly important but nice.

If i am forced to wear armor ill only lose a bit anyhow...
And ill still get Wis to AC and armor enchantments

What should i consider for armor?
Celestial?
Mithral ( good enchantments?)

You can also just use bracers of armor, or enchant a masterwork t-shirt (non-armor clothing counts as +0 armor for the purpose of magic vestment (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/magicVestment.htm), so it's not much of a stretch). Since neither ability grants an armor bonus, it will stack, and since it's not actually armor, it won't affect the monk bonus.
