Yes, fire elementals are good cannon fodder. If you luck out and get the stronger variant its a good deal.
As for spider spawn, its alot better than the regular 'monster summoning' of the same level. The djinni bottle is nice early in the game, but lately he's been getting trounced pretty bad.
I like invisible stalkers too, they seem to have nice low ac and last awhile. And you don't have to wait forever to summon them like with mage elementals.
