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.

The mountain bears from Conjure Animals work well, too. Summon a fire elemental to tank (immune to normal weapons), then the mountain bears. The bears dish out a LOT of damage, and have quite a few hit points, too. Against mages, try Nishruu (or the more advanced kind). They are immune to magic (in fact, they eat it), so the enemies will stupidly shoot spells at it, and it will just get stronger. Also good is the efreet; you just have to keep him away from the party, since he likes to use a lot of fireballs. He also turns invisible quite a bit, making him effective against spellcasters (they have to dispel the invisibility to target him with spells).
