Air - Spring hawks are very good, but use them with a Queen of Air. She can summon a lot of them.

Earth - Troll King's Court is worth the expense. They are extremely tough fighters, and the Troll King is a very good earth mage.

Fire - I don't see too much use for fire, until I can summon a Fire King. They can then summon some awesome units.

Water - I don't use it much until I can summon a Sea King's Court. The troops are fairly worthless. They die very quickly in a big fight. But the Sea King is a very good Water mage, and brings in 1 water per turn.

Death - Heh, you can't go wrong with death.

Astral - Yes, Ether Warriors are the cat's meow. They cost a lot, but are almost unstoppable.

Nature - Hmm. There is a lot you can get with Nature, and they are all pretty useful. I think the Naiads are the best.

Blood - Don't know. I don't use Blood magic.

I think that vine ogres are popular nature summons. They have lots of hitpoints, and if you can buff their protection they make good shock troops.

Earth: Troll kings court is great, mechanical men are useful, siege golems are tough, fairly hard hitting and destroy castles easily, iron dragons are also very tough but they also fly and have good resistances. Crushers can be extremely useful if you get them early because they are fairly difficult to take down without magic.

Water: Sea kings court is good. The Sea king himself is useful and the regenerating sea trolls(who tend to bleed alot)+the shark summoning spell can dominate underwater.
Kydnides are nice too.

Nature: Lamias are great. Vinemen and ogres are also nice - particularly when you get a boost to summoning.

Astral: Ether warriors are nice. Not much else.

Death: Ghosts are great, chaff, particularly dispossesed spirits are great, wights from the legion of wights spell are good and troop tartarians are fairly good.

Blood: Imps can be a pain but arent too powerful. Devils are always nice. Storm demons/frost fiends/fiends of darkness all have their uses, particularly the fiends of darkness due to stealth(give a stealthy commander rod of the leper king). My personal favourite here would have to be demon knights - they are absolutely awesome with their great stats, abilities and equipment.
