>The other major question is why would anyone make a matrix?

One advantage of a spell matrix is that it can be given conditions under
which it casts itself. I believe this was only mentioned for matrices,
not for spirits. (I assume you use the RQ III enchantment rules from
your comments, and thus this is relevant.) One might also make a matrix
of a spell they've learned but don't have access to spirits for. But
in general spirits are much better than matrices.

>Finally, can you use a doubling crystal with a matrix?

The matrix rules say that the matrix gives you the knowledge of the spell,
so you're doing the actual casting, and thus I would say that the crystal
would help.
