what's the best golem?

I was thinking clay golem because they are immune to any magic that kills them outright and are immune to slashing and piercing...that pretty much leaves blunt weapons and not just everyone is carrying around a +1 blunt weapon. Not only that they are the cheapest to make considering the vestments can be reused (do the vestments have to stay on the golem once he's made?)
they can also haste...wounds from them can't be healed normally yadda yadda.
they do only slightly less damage than an iron golem when they hit, though they are at less to hit.
the only thing i see wrong with them is lower hp's, which all their immunities helps, and also of course that they go berserk randomly and you can't get them back under control. anyone else''s opinion?

Clay might be nice, but the strongest are still iron. +1 is a first level spell, but +3 is a little harder to come by. The bonus to hit and hit points can really help in the long run. depends on what you want them to do, I guess.
 

yeah but the can't just cast magic weapon on anything...it has to be a blunt weapon right? i guess it doesn't matter if you cast it on a lollipop if the fighter has a high str bonus huh?
 



Mithral Golems are in the Epic Level Handbook. They're permanently hasted, have DR 50/+5, immune to magic and have a Movement of 40'. Not only can they make an extra partial action each round, they can run down most characters who try to flee....:cool:
 

I'm partial to the Clay Golem as well. In the last game session a Clay Golem grappled with the Fighter / Master Samurai and then held him in the Blade Barrier that was conveniently located right next to them. They are still trying to clean that mess up.
