My magus is investing in UMD (despite a modest charisma) but the trouble is that I am hardly an expert on all the various spells in PF. What are some of the most potent spells out there, that a magus might want to keep around, either on scroll or in a wand?
At first glance the paladin spell Eaglesoul seems quite nice, particularly since its long duration means a magus could UMD-cast it just as he's entering the dungeon and have it ready when needed inside.
Could I get a scroll of Summon Monster at the discounted Summoner's spell level?
Are there any witch-only spells I should be looking at? Or for that matter druid or inquisitor?
If you're a spellcaster of any kind, what are those must-have spells on your spell list that really stand out? Inquiring UMD-users want to know. :D

Lead Blades is great on a wand.
Inquisitor has some good melee spells on the list.
Paladins get the best +Str spell (+8)
Generally, unless you have a lot of money laying around, you want magic spells that are lower level.
As for items at different spell levels there is a priority in which they are considered. I do not recall it off hand, but I know that if the spell appears on the Wizard/Sorcerer list you go off that listed level first.
Spend a few minutes looking through caster lists and you'll see. I realize you'd like to avoid doing the legwork on something as encompassing as a spell-list search, but you know best what your character build benefits from. The rest of us just have to make educated guesses.

Hrm. I'm not sure giving up a standard action is worth imposing a single re-roll on my foe. Now imposing *five* rerolls would be worth it, but then we're looking at a wand at CL 20, which I imagine would cost quite a bit. :p

With a familiar it's like having Persistent Spell that stacks with Persistent Spell.
Which is an important note: UMD becomes best when it's not your actions it's eating. Get a familiar! Lyrakie are my favorite.
