I like Namor a bit (even if he did try to mess up Black Panther so fuck him...BP is another of my personal favorites) but...

Namor came to aid the X-men because 1) at the time Marvel was billing/re-branding him as the 'first mutant' again. So sure, he might have some respect for Scott Summers, he had some personal interest in helping the X-men against the government (read: Norman Osborn) and the Avengers.
More importantly 2) Namor wanted to get his groove on with Emma Frost again (that's right -again-). Reading through Dark Reign, there's an issue dedicated to their backhistory, not to mention the fact that they had a psychic affair (sound familiar Mr. Summers?) while they were the Phoenix Five.
So sure, Namor's one of several decently cool, sometimes asshole-ish heroes, I wouldn't say he's the kind to do much of anything unless he's getting something out of it. Be it a battle (he does love a good fight), honor/glory, or another chance at defrosting the White Queen (or taking another shot at Sue Storm's invisible panties).
Also, speaking of Doctor Fate, I really liked the approach they took with him in Young Justice, even moreso than in Justice League/Justice League Unlimited.
