Looking for endgame advice.
So, I'm currently in the middle of my best run to date as a MfIE of Sif Muna. I've got three runes (and have had them since before going below floor 15 in the main dungeon, actually) for the first time ever, I've cleared floor 27, I'm at experience level 26, and I'm not exactly sure what I should do next.
My resistances in standard equipment are pretty good, I think; either rF+ rC+++ and one MR or rF++ rC++ rN+ and two MR depending on whether I use my Ring of Ice or one of my artifact rings, and can get any one resistance to +++ if I need to, or maybe several if I try hard enough. I haven't touched the Crypt, the Elven Halls, Hell, or the Slime Pits (and I've never tried them with any prior character either, so I don't know what to expect). Should I go straight for Zot, or would it be safer to do one of those other branches first?
Also, I find that the Summon Ice Beast spell has largely outlived its usefulness for anything except killing mummies and stair-dancing shenanigans, so I've been wondering if I should replace it. The most promising-looking alternatives are Teleport Self (I have a decent number of scrolls, though), Phase Shift (I just picked up Extension, so it'd be free EV), Simulacrum, Alistar's Intoxication (I do have an amulet of clarity, though I typically wear gourmand), Passage of Golubria (which I've never tried), and Berserker Rage (my weapon does have +Rage, but I have no evocation skill). I also have Controlled Blink, but the success rate is only Poor and I'm not sure if I should train Translocations for it when I can already do semicontrolled blinks (actually, I can get it up to Good with a ring of wizardry, but that means sacrificing resistances). What would be the most useful at this point in the game?

My resistances in standard equipment are pretty good, I think; either rF+ rC+++ and one MR or rF++ rC++ rN+ and two MR depending on whether I use my Ring of Ice or one of my artifact rings, and can get any one resistance to +++ if I need to, or maybe several if I try hard enough. I haven't touched the Crypt, the Elven Halls, Hell, or the Slime Pits (and I've never tried them with any prior character either, so I don't know what to expect). Should I go straight for Zot, or would it be safer to do one of those other branches first?
Also, I find that the Summon Ice Beast spell has largely outlived its usefulness for anything except killing mummies and stair-dancing shenanigans, so I've been wondering if I should replace it. The most promising-looking alternatives are Teleport Self (I have a decent number of scrolls, though), Phase Shift (I just picked up Extension, so it'd be free EV), Simulacrum, Alistar's Intoxication (I do have an amulet of clarity, though I typically wear gourmand), Passage of Golubria (which I've never tried), and Berserker Rage (my weapon does have +Rage, but I have no evocation skill). I also have Controlled Blink, but the success rate is only Poor and I'm not sure if I should train Translocations for it when I can already do semicontrolled blinks (actually, I can get it up to Good with a ring of wizardry, but that means sacrificing resistances). What would be the most useful at this point in the game?
