The only real divisions(aside from perhaps potency and power but that is just your standard population diversity) of 'spirits', that I am aware of, which Tolkien seems to present are:

ëalar- natural discarnates(ergo the Ainur(eg Maiar, the Valar,)
fëar- natural incarnates(ie 'souls')(ergo Men, Elves, Dwarves, )
