Improved Familiar

I'm looking for the general concesus of what creatures people think make for playable improved familiars that were not on the suggested list.

What off-list familiar would you allow in game or you would think would be within the framework of what is sugested?

Thanks for all your help, folks.

Yeah. I too have some questions regarding that. The handbook stops @ CL 7. What about later levels? Also, people are talking about familiars as mounts. Is there any restriction (aside from DM ruling) as to what constitutes a viable familiar?
Could I just take succubus familiar? I mean it isn't so far from imp. Or fleshraker? For all your combat needs. Any insight would be helpful, because, although I played a lot of sorcerers/wizards, I always used replacement abilities (either ACF or houseruled).
