Shelob was stated to be far stronger and far more cunning than normal spiders. She served a purpose without Sauron having to make an alliance; but you have to remember that Sauron brought the spiders to Mirkwood, if he did not breed them some way or another. Sauron's also the most powerful Maia in Middle-Earth. If he needed an alliance with Shelob, he could easily have gotten it. It would take far less work to daunt lesser spiders into service.
