I'd bet devils make good patrollers, but your regular troops not so much so.

Heh, ask me a hard one! Devils make *excellent* patrollers, there is absolutely 0 chance that spies will cause you any long term problems. You've also got easy access to one of the best domes which unlike others you can actually use - dome of corruption. Your warlocks are mostly out of your capital blood hunting anyway and you can stick vamp bodyguards on anybody still hanging out there so the down side of the dome is essentially negated. That means you've got a dome powered by cheap blood slaves which blocks 75% of spells while driving the caster insane. Its possible that you might get caught with your pants down but nobody is going to be spamming unrest causing spells into that dome once you put it up so again I can't imagine how you'd have a long term problem.
