Max both. I don't know which monsters are magic immune(maybe a couple at most, but those that are are usually not poison immune...), so you could reasonably use both as required. For example, you obviously can't use Spirit to clear the River of Flame(exercise in futility) when it's full of maggots, but conversely, you also want to be able to kill that cursed extra strong, might enchanted boss-Urdar in as few casts as possible. Long story short, get both, use the Spear for long corridors, and the spirit in wide spaces where you can run(or to take out that particularly nasty boss monster, especially aura-enchanted ones) Although of course, I personally prefer the Poison Nova in wide spaces...
