If you want to look at the cost of imps, you have to look at horde from hell or infernal forces. Horde from hell summons a devil (at 3 slaves, which is crazy cheap) and a bunch of imps, at 44 slaves for 25 units. That's a bit over 1 slave per imp. Anyway, going with a 2:1 ratio sounds reasonable.

You can consider part of the cost of HFH as a premium, however, because it is a raiding spell. If/when they win, they can be flown out of the province the next turn, or used again... etc. You can cast it on anywhere.

That is most certainly true, yes. It is probable that horde from hell has a built in transport fee to go with it, probably between 5 and 10 gems worth, imo. I thought about mentioning this, but since the imps would still be over 1 slave per imp and under 2, I didn't figure it changed the math enough to mention.
The barrow wight cost looks fine for now, they're probably more or less equivalent to shura at present with added vulnerability to magic duel making it kind of painful to equip them.
