The spell "Legion of Wights" gives you 20 wights at 30 death gems.

Ah, that's what I was missing. On the other hand (I just looked it up) LoW is a level 9 spell, while Ether Gate is only level 6. So you're going to be able to summon ether warriors much earlier than you can (cost-effectively) summon wights.

So I guess the answer is that you'll use wights if you have Cjn 9 but use ether warriors if you need the grunt now, but only have Cjn 6-8.

... And if you have 90 astral to spare, which doesn't normally happen early in the game (at least not to me). Wights have additional advantage, because you need only 30 death gems to cast them, so waiting until 90 gems is not necessary. Ghosts are another good summon, which is very cost efficient if you have skillful death mage (summonned demi-lich with few magic boosters does pretty well too).
