It's ALL the middle ones I don't understand. Take say the Father of the son or mother of serpents. Both cost around 100 and yet I don't see them really as viable SC's..or am I missing something? Seems to me that if you want to SC you really have to have astral (for the alterations) and you can't go much better than the worms regen as well...so why does anyone choose the pretenders of the other Titans.

This is actually an extremely good question, and the answer for most of them is that no, they don't have niche in the base game. The main exception being blesses, sometimes the most convienent sets of paths for an imprisoned bless pretender is an otherwise useless titan.
In theory, titans have advantage over the more 'monster' pretender becuase they have more item slots later. However, in practice there are a couple pretender that fit both the niche of 'monsters' and have all the needed slots, mainly the Prince of Death and Cyclops.
While it's certainly possible to make an SC out of vitually anything provided they have a good number of HP and item slots, low protection value titans just can't compete economically in this area, and many don't have another area of usefulness. There are plety of ways to make SCs without astral though, the high dominion for awe that's been mentioned is popular.
