Act2 Merc Auras:
Normal/Hell:
Offensive = Blessed Aim (raises AR, not that useful)
Defensive = Defiance (raises defense, somewhat useful)
Combat = Prayer (heals your health, pretty much useless)
Nightmare
Offensive = Might (increases attack damage, this one is the best)
Defensive = Holy Freeze (freezes all enemies around him, not bad, just explodes too many corpses that could be used to CE)
Combat = Thorns (not too good)
In short words, go to nightmare and hire the offensive merc.

This largly depends on what build you are using. If you have a Fishymancer (summon necro) then getting an offensive NM merc will give Might aura to beef the dmg of all your summons, so for Fishies there is no other option. If you are a poison or bone necro then there are other options, Holy Freeze will slow everything around you to make them less dangerous for you when you kill them, a Defiance merc will boost yours, and most importantly, your mercs defence to make a big bad tanker. If you are troubled with Poison immunes then a Might merc would be the fastest way to dispose of these..
My advice is:
Fishymancer ---> Might merc (no other options)
Caster necro (P or B) ---> Holy freeze (I think this is the best options, but other options are available)

Good merc for poison necro is NM act 2 offensive, because poison skill tree requires only 60 skills so u can put 1 pts into all summon skills.
And you all know how good psn is for bosses so you will most likely kill bosses by your summons(IF you are psn/summon). So summons+might aura=fast boss killing speed.

Unless you revieve some Urdars/Maulers for their CB I think it's a little too much to say that one point in every summon+might will give you fast boss killing... but you are absolutly right that the extra points, after your PSN is maxed could go into summoning for a little hybridization..

Well, when you face diablo revive some Lord De Seiz's minions and diablo dies ~10 secs. If you have a good eq. And for other bosses, you will most likely find something useful on your way to them:wink2:
Ah forgot to say, always amp all bosses(exept ubers, use decrep vs them)
