The +4 Con will bump it up 10 more HP to 47.  The Fiendish Monstrous Centipede Huge will be a close second with 6 HD though it has lower attacks and HP, it does have poison (1d6 Dex) though.4 HD is the minimum to get DR 5/magic with a celestial/fiendish/pseudonatural. You are at the level where magic weapons or the equivalent in natural attacks are rare enough that opponents will generally not be able to overcome the damage reduction. Fiendish Dire Bats, Fiendish Apes, Fiendish Monstrous Centipede - Huge (6hd). These also have enough HD to get the DR.Creatures with a single primary attack will benefit a bit more from augment summoning. Their attack is treated as a two handed weapon for purposes of the strength damage bonus.The Save DCs for a lot of abilities and poison are con based, which is another good reason to get Augment Summoning.</blockquote>
