Good point -- its RAW that most azer wait out the term of their servitude rather than rebel. Two crafts at +6 are nothing special, though, and your DM may rule that you get two random crafts (I would).
However did we forget the orsheval?
Orsheval [CR 4, SR 15, Will +5, Cha 10] -- It's an intelligent, glowing, Lawful Neutral metal horse. You call up one of these guys if you're Lawful Anything, and if you (or your cohort, or another party member) feel like riding around on a metal horse that glows, talks, and can dimension door once per day. The LPB list doesn't actually have a lot of mounts: this guy and the nightmare are pretty much it, and the orsheval is a lot more tractable than the nightmare. In Golarion they're servants of Abadar, so make sure you're not using it for banditry or anything else that would tend to tear down civilization.

@ Douglas Muir - Orsheval is definitely nice. I think you'd avoid trouble with Abadar's forces as long as you actually pay the Orsheval. (Abadar's a firm believer in no free lunches.) I suspect an Orsheval would agree to working for a salary.
@ LazarX - Ultimate Magic says you can, you just can't do it while on the Prime Material. I've quoted the relevant language upthread.
I note that certain alignments are overrepresented, especially LE and CE. There's not much for LG, NG or CN. This may be random, mind -- this list is dominated by CR 4 and 5 creatures.

Cacodaemon kill foes feed to Cacodaemon collect gem = profit. using the book of the damned rules.
Bump before I start on the next piece (Planar Binding). Comments, as always, welcome.

Swaithe [CR 4, SR 15, Will +4, Cha 12] A debuffer with the cackle, evil eye and misfortune hexes & can also spot invisible creatures with its blindsense. Don't let it talk to animals, it's pretty psycho.
Ooh, good one. And, hey, if you're a witch with the coven hex, or a sorceror with the accursed bloodline, you can swap the swaithe into a coven. (Alas, both those have the "coven must contain at least one hag" requirement, otherwise you could just summon and bind two swaithes.)

How about lampadarius?
CR 4, SR 15, will +6, cha 12
Your friendly neighbourhood shadow, without the create spawn. Has blur, but no flying and incorpreality. Again its got regeneration, so it ought to stick around.

I'm gonna necro this thread to bring up Petitioners [HD2, CHA 10, +0 Will] They're mechanically pretty mundane, but flavorwise I think they're the only outsider you could call that will probably prefer being in your service to being back home, if you're pulling one from a lower plane. I personally like The Hunted- they look like normal people (keep those pesky paladins out of your hair) and get DR and fast healing for some added durability.
Basically if you want servants for out-of-combat roles like housekeeping and whatnot, Petitioners are the way to go.
Necro away! There have been like two Bestiaries and 30+ AP modules since we left this thread, so for sure there must be a bunch of new outsiders to play with.
