It depends on which element you've chosen as your primary. In general, you want:
one that kills a big nasty dude fast
one that kills lots of dudes at once
one that kills dudes that are immune to your main element
one that kills little dudes cheaply
Pretty much every other spell slot goes into utility and defensive spells. Bear in mind that a given spell will move from one category to another as the game progresses. Bolt of Fire is a fire-conjuror's power spell and AoE early on, costing a lot of mp and food, but later on you get it to hungerless and start spamming it everywhere. At that point, Fire Storm is your power spell.
For example, around mid-Vaults or so these are all feasible workhorse conjurations:
Throw Icicle, Bolt of Cold, Freezing Cloud
Sticky Flame, Bolt of Fire, Orb of Destruction
Airstrike or Mystic Blast, Lightning Bolt, Poisonous or Freezing Cloud
Stone Arrow, Rapid Deconstruction, Iron Shot
Mystic Blast, Poisonous Cloud, Poison Arrow
These examples should not be considered comprehensive. There are many perfectly good combinations, far too many to list. The important thing is to cover all your needs, but with minimal overlap to save spell slots for other purposes.
