I was lucky enough to get the permanent Thrall spells just before I encountered two Dremora Markynaz in the Mehrunes Razor Quest. I looked on the Wiki and can't find the stats on Dremora Markynaz? The Varieties of Daedra book says they are second only to the Valkynaz. Does anyone know what there stats are? Also I just encountered a Ascendant Necromancer that was pretty tough so I thought I would test him out, but I can't find stats on him either? Should I stick with the 2 Markynaz or 1 Markynaz and 1 Ascendant? BTW I'm a pure mage that travels with Aranea Ienith so I have a sizable magic attack already.

Do it how you want to it's your game, but if you want an opinion i would go with 1 of the Daedra and the mage.

IDK... I thought the Ascendant would conjure another daedra to help the party, but he just seems cast ice spells and for some reason my Markynaz gets hostile towards him A LOT, which results in them fighting to the death. I don't know which is more powerful but I think I like having two Dukes of hell at my biding. Plus no moaning.

I have a dead thrall spell but never picks one because I like to be with my brother Lucien (calling him dispel other conjured being even with twin soul perk). So I will stay with Conjure Dragon Priest (They can conjure Atronachs). With Cicero, that makes a badass 6-man Team (me, Lucien, Cicero, my Dragon Priest, my DP's Atronach, Cicero's Dremora Valkynaz).
