1: item 2003 start for high poke or lanes where you want to fight early, and it is best for tanks item 2031 is a greedy start that AP supports can use to get their items faster, or safe lanes (like Lulu support) can use.

2: Unsealed spellbook is for supports who like to make frequent summoner 4-engages so they can win lane.

3: summoner 1 is a dumb choice. You CAN use it for 'baiting' in lane, but that's all, really. summoner 14 cancels a lot of summoner 7 and is the best choice. summoner 7 can be taken on enchanter supports if your adc has summoner 21. summoner 3 is for defensive lanes, or against champions like Zed who want to kill your adc.

4: It's 'Rock-paper-scissors', generally. Poke > all in > sustain > poke

item 2031 Overall a better choice then item 2003 due to the refillability. Supports need the gold. So this is the most cost efficient and you can use it all game up to 20 min mark. I have survived summoner 14 and other things by having it.

Unsealed spellbook is decent for invading and using tp and such. Not a big fan of alistar right now. He feels really poor... :(

Aftershock is EXTREMELY good for defences. It's crazy, plus it does aoe damage. Very good for going all in on melees. Like Alistar Leona etc.

summoner 1 Haven't seen this ever used. Except once and I won against it it was on enemy Morgana. Not sure why.

The categorizes depend on your team comp. But mostly it depends on what you wanna play truly. [slayer-jinx-catface]
