I just checked, and the Eater gets +2 mr and +10 % regen per form, for a final 26 mr and 50% regen when it goes independent.

For fun and styleness: Troll Kings Court.
For just a medicore caster turn and some earth gems (okay, a lot of it) you get another medicore earth caster, who can take a few hits in combat and brings a gang of real heavy hitters!

Well, if I think about it again, trolls are all I need. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Lamia and fairy queens are two of my favorites. Spectre Mages can make incredible thugs/raiders with a bit of luck, too.

Of course tartarians. But I think I am addicted to Golems, either they are the best thing I can get or the best thing that will work [mindless]. And I have lost over 5 of them to turn limit bug already.

I make a big difference between commander summons (including non commanders which get all equipment slots with GOR) and monster summons.
I think there are a lot of good commander summons on different research levels, my favourites being the sea kings court, Wraith Lord, Bane Lord and the arch devils. I have an exceptional dislike for Tartarian Gate. Regardless what you get, 10 death gems are just absurdly cheap! You don't even get a bane lord for that.
There are also some very powerfull race specific summons, especially from Agartha or the Ulm Vampire Counts. There are probably more, but I didn't play all races yet.

I personally think most monster summons are highly overpriced or I didn't find the right way to play them yet. The only good ones are Tarasque (first) and Abomination (second). However, both are overshadowed by the ridicilous cheap Tartarians. Leviathan also isn't that bad if you're playing a sea nation.

I also like the Pangaea Carrion summons...
