AFAIK, for players at least, % absorb is applied after resistances. Assuming its the same for golems, then higher resists will lower the amount of damage healed for fire damage.
As a player having used firegolems, I've noticed that it is very uncommon to need to to recast the golem while it was fighting fire using enemies, even with points in summon resist.
It seems to need help much more often when fighting LEBs or very powerful melee monsters/act bosses.
The benefit of absorbing more health from fire seems limited vs taking the extra damage from all other elements.
