Superior Summoning + Balanced Summoning

Balanced Summoning wrote:

You maintain balance by calling on opposing forces when summoning. Whenever you cast a summon monster spell, you can summon two creatures from a single list 1 or more levels lower than the level of the spell. The two creatures must have alignments that are opposite along at least one axis (chaotic and lawful or evil and good). For example, if you cast summon monster III, you could summon a celestial wolf and a fiendish hyena from the 2nd-level list.

Each time you cast a summoning spell that conjures more than one creature, add one to the total number of creatures summoned.

If I combine these abilities, do I get 2 of one alignment and 1 of another? Or do they simply not combine?

Any thoughts?

I would go with two of one alignment and one of another. Seems reasonable to me.

The only other alternative would be that the third creature has to be TN, which would fit better with the theme of Balanced Summoning.

I would say that it works however you want, as long as at least 2 of them are of opposite alignments. Superior Summoning does NOT say that it summons an additional creature of the type you summon. It says explicitly that it just adds to the total number of creatures summoned.

Would this combination replace the 1d3 or 1d4+1 additional creatures summoned by using a lower level list?

Actually, for the 3rd creature, you could use the counterpoised template (normally it's meant for the Summon Neutral Monster feat but I think it would be cool to also use here to keep the 'balance' theme.)
