What is the benifit/drawback of using Planeshift to go to the astral, shadow, or etheral plane? And are there any other good choices or uses for the planeshift spell?

Mostly useful in situations when you want to go to one of those planes.

And are there any other good choices or uses for the planeshift spell?

Plane shift is a quick travel spell. It's usefulness is based on where you want to go.

Planeshift is also useful as a touch attack. Such as if you want to transport that nasty undead you're fighting to the positive energy plane, or something to the elemental plane of fire.

Planeshift allows you to go to other planes without having to find a portal, which can be difficult to locate and reach, and which often are guarded.
