I am also at work, but I can tell you that the thing I like most about the Devas and Planatars (a stronger Deva, IMHO) is that you can click on them to choose whatever spell they have, and use it for the benefit of the party.
They can heal party members as well as do physical and magical damage. You can tell them what specific spell to use, or they can decide on their own. I have never used a djinni, so I don't know if they compare.

I always call on the Planatars/Devas first before any other summoned being for the fact that they stay in battle longer, and have more to offer me. They had better! A planatar is a ninth level spell summon, and I want my money's worth when I call them. So far, they have served me well.
In reference to you fallen Planatar question, I am assuming that they would have spells similar to an evil cleric, and probably turn Paladin as well. I hope to try one out soo, as Jaheira can call either one she wants.
(I wonder if a Fallen Plantar would attack party members of good alignment?)
