Bone vs Poison for Summoner?

Hey all, 1st Necro character ever… clvl 88…
He’s mostly a CE Summoner (and I like that aspect, so will stay that way), but I also have Teeth (1 hard point, 20 total) to get to CE.
Wondering if I should spend my next few points (or dig out a Token) to go BoneSpear, or go Poison…
Keep in mind I’ll never fully synergize Bone or Poison.
So as a second/added/supplement skill/attack to best help the Army, Poison vs Bone… thoughts?

Edit; many days later…

Well…
asked this question when i had already gone down the Summon road, with a few points in Teeth.
Made a new Char and went down the poison road with a few points in Summons.

My Poison/Summons guys has;
Lvl15 Skellies (quantity 7) and Lvl15 mages (quantity 7)… ~ duh, 14 in total… and lvl24 in both Skeleton Mastery & Summon Resist.
Lvl 15 Iron Golem with lvl20 Golem Mastery and lvl 23 Blood Golem.
Lvl26 Teeth & Bone Armor, Lvl33 Corpse Explosion, 17 Amp Damage.
He then has;
Lvl45 Poison Nova, lvl45 Poison Explosion and Lvl38 Poison Dagger.
And lvl33 Corpse Explosion.
110frw, 40fcr.

My Pure/Summons guys has;
Lvl43 Skellies (quantity 16) and Lvl38 mages (quantity 14)… ~ duh, 30 in total… and lvl45 in Skeleton Mastery & Lvl25 (68%) in Summon Resist.
Lvl 15 Iron Golem with lvl20 Golem Mastery and lvl 23 Blood Golem.
Lvl24 Teeth & Bone Armor, lvl38 Corpse Explosion, Lvl25 Amp Damage.
He then has;
No points in Poison.
95frw, 130fcr.

Both have ~90 magic find and similar mana/life as well as replenish… nearly identical Iron Golem’s and Act 2 Merc’s.

Have not made a full synergy Poison build… with minimal Army… so there is that.

Pure Summoner is cheaper (HOTA and Spirit with +summon skillers)
Poison/Summoner hybrid is $$$ (Deaths Web, Facets, 3-piece Trang’s along with +summons and +poison/bone skillers, and boot/head/shield swap when summoning).

Going to give the nod to pure summons build vs Poison/Summons hybrid.
Again, have not made full synergy Poison build as of yet.
