It's all dependent on your weapon and what enemies you're facing.

In the case of Corrosive, it's really viable if you have high status chance and are facing armored enemies which is how most players use it. However, if you're going for just pure damage then Corrosive is not gonna be useful most times except against Heavy Gunners and Ancients.

Gas is very nice too. It's great when you're using a status build against against Corpus or if you're doing pure damage against Infested.

Other good ones are Radiation and Viral. Radiation is best used when going for damage, not necessarily status, against armored enemies. Most Grineer above lvl 15 start using Alloy armor instead of Ferrite, making Radiation damage more effective. Viral is effective against pretty much all Factions in terms of damage, but it's true use is when it procs.
