Here is what I currently use:

(define-key emacs-lisp-mode-map [tab] 'my-lisp-indent-or-complete)
(defun my-lisp-indent-or-complete (&optional arg)
  "Complete Lisp symbol, or indent line or region.
If the character preceding point is symbol-constituent, then perform
completion on Lisp symbol preceding point using `lisp-complete-symbol'.
Otherwise, call `indent-for-tab-command' that indents line or region."
  (interactive "P")
  (if (and (not (and transient-mark-mode mark-active
                     (not (eq (region-beginning) (region-end)))))
           (memq (char-syntax (preceding-char)) (list ?w ?_))
           (not (bobp)))
      (lisp-complete-symbol)
    (indent-for-tab-command arg)))

and find this very useful.  Maybe something like this should be added
to emacs-lisp-mode and its menu?
