Summoning confuses me...
I can never really understand what I am allowed to summon...
Here is the Summoning level listed in each of the guides (and the handy Dragon Magazine 302 with alternate lists and awkward directions on how to modify existing lists...)
I will include Level, name, alignment, source material, page number (after I thought it would be a good idea to track page numbers), If it was from the 302 dragon and if they changed its spot from one level to another in that source, CR, HP, and AC... (In my list I also include saves, immunities, attacks, and special attacks, but it is too much for this screen)

As best I can tell, none of the MMIII monsters include this type of info. So this may be a bit screwy or only be 3.0 useful which blows for my games...) And it is kinda lame to boot since I like the MMIII.
I am interested in seeing how various people houserule Summoning. I was trying to decide if it would be cool to be a summoner, but if you are really restricted to a single monster per level you would really not be very useful as a summoning specialist. Additional feats is one thing and there are a few that are useful already...
So, open season...
