Personally I think I'd refuse to watch one with spiders in! lol”
The reason (or suggested reason) why the Daleks are in every season relates to alledged agreement made by the BBC and the Terry Nation Estate (part owners of the Dalek creation) in 2004 that they would appear in each of the new series. Not sure if this is actually the case but it could be likely.
The Daleks themselves are also a huge money spinner for the BBC and the Terry Nation Estate (moreso than any other monster) and this is probably a very good reason to include them.
As for other monsters returning, then I think if you search the internet and indeed watch the trailer for the new series, you should keep your eyes peeled, but dont blink.......
There is one very recoginisabe returning monster (and I dont mean the Daleks who are there as well), but also what appears to be a race of reptiles who just could be related to one or two of the creatures you have mentioned above.
