Any of them will work. It just depends on what you want out of your APP/PPP set. If you have a problem getting mezzed, then you can go with Psi. Ice has two AoE powers, and Earth Control has plenty of tools to keep foes in the AoE of Ice Storm. If you tend to stay more "in the action," the Earth APP's Fissure recharges fairly quickly and has a sometimes-stun to stack with Stalagmites. Both Ice and Earth have Defense-based Smashing/Lethal shields. Each set has other utility powers. I think I lean more towards Ice if you don't need Mez protection.
I haven't tried any of the PPP sets, but this might be a good character for those.

I believe Power Boost does work with Volcanic Gasses as long as its active when you cast the pet. I think it makes the duration of each of the individual holds longer. I'm basing this mostly on instinct as I've never tested it. Power Boost is a VERY strong power though. Because you mainly use it during the opening seconds of a fight, when enemies tend to launch alphas, it serves as a kind of "anti-alpha" armor power as it boosts toggle defenses and -ToHit for the duration of the PB.
