You also have to consider that as a necromancer that your summons are weakened/strengthened depending on the sacrifices made. So a weak peon would reduce the stats of your minion. This is why Ainz wanted to begin searching for Martial Artists so that he could learn more about it and then use them to create powerful undead minions. We can also assume that because of his class/race that he gives bonus stats/levels to his minions. As other have said you also have to consider the special abilities of the summons as well.
