Any of the armored catfishes would be the first place to go with cichlids in the tank. Many of the armored catfishes fall in the same family as plecos.

Bristle-nose Plecostomus (Ancistrus cirrhosus) for all types of Cichlids. They tolerate the same water conditions and the Cichlids don't bug them.

A Large Plecostomus.

Depending on what type of cichlids you have I would say the larger the pleco the better. They are very resiliant.
