The carrion lord is most efficient in reanimating carrion critters. 25 nature gems for 3 vine critters pro turn.

You don't need a dominion of 10 as carrion woods, as the chance to reanimate a carrion thing is 10*(dominion+1+growth+magic). As you are forced to take growth 1 and magic 1 anyway, a dominion of 7 would do.
Both growth and magic scale increase the chance to recieve a strong carrion creature by 1. Growth isn't really needed, magic scale is nice for research.

First, carrion lords would be the most efficient if they did 3 creatures a turn. However, that is just the max they will do, most turns they will produce 2 or even only 1 beasts. And since you are guaranteed to get at least 1 beast per tun with any animator, carrion centaurs seem like the surest bet. Carrion ladies still have a niche though due to the fact you can switch them back and forth to research, and can both carrion ladies and lord have useful battle magic.

And there is, in fact, a reason to have higher dominion. The chance for carrion growth is province by province, you will have more provinces in more dominion faster with dom 10 than with 7.
