Bind Ice Devil.

Bar none, some of the most bang you'll get for your buck (or your blood slaves, rather) - especially if you can outfit them with some nice gear. They are supercombatants to the Nth degree, they can lead large armies (it's nice to summon IDs with Caelum - I have recently started using the Vampire Queen as my regular Caelum pretender for precisely this purpose - as most troops in Caelum have 100% cold resistance and won't be hurt by the constant Chill effect around the IDs, so you can let the IDs jump right into the thick of things).

Yes, I'd say that's one of my favorite spells so far. Also, I'd echo what Norfleet said - Hordes from Hell is not nearly as lame as you'd think, for raiding/harassment purposes. Plus, it gives you a devil commander who you can equip with fun gear, even if you ditch the imps entirely and have him lead something else.
