What killer's perks work best with their power?
So I was wondering, what killer and their related teachables have the most synergy with their power AND other teachables from that killer. I was thinking maybe Hillbilly, enduring is good for making survivors drop pallets and tinkerer works well because he can cross the map quickly. What do you all think?

As a Mikey main I would say Save the Best is the best for him as he is an M1 killer.

Nurse's perks complement her playstyle really well - Stridor helps with location when you don't have line of sight, Thanatophobia encourages heals (and gets mad value when she snowballs), and Nurse's Calling catches those heals and turns them back into downs.
Plague doesn't get great use out of Dark Devotion, being pretty tall and noticeable, but she's a fantastic user of Corrupt Intervention, being able to lock down the first 4 gens by tagging them with her power and either discouraging survivors from touching them, or catching them immediately because they get infected as soon as they start working, and Infectious Fright has terrifying potential with Corrupt Purge.
Myers would benefit most from a slowdown perk, but he's quite nominable because his perks all work really well with each other - they encourage you to beat the crap out of the three non-obsessions, get stronger and stronger, and finally take out the obsession towards the end. He's a good user of STBFL because he can minimize hits on his obsession with his power, and PWYF gives him bonus speed for having to leave his obsession alone sometimes.
Other killers have great synergies with just one of their perks - Hag's an incredible user of Devour Hope with her ability to technically be 24+ meters away but not really, Trapper uses Agitation to take people to his famous basement, Discordance tells Legion where best to use their power, and as you already pointed out, Tinkerer works best on killers like Billy who can cross the map quickly. I also have to give a special award to Doctor for having a pretty great perk that's actively bad on him in the form of Monitor and Abuse. Lowers your detection radius when you want to find people and increases it when you don't.

Thank you for pointing out plague, I didn't really think about how much she benefits from Corrupt. Michael is also someone I wasn't thinking about but both have pretty good perks that work with their powers.

BBQ Bubba, Haunted Grounds Spirit, Thrilling Tremors Ghostface, and Dragon's Grip on Blight are all very good. Bubba can check where most survivors are and how to use his power well, Spirit's high mobility with Haunted can cut chases short within 10 seconds of seeing someone, Ghostface can sneak up to all unblocked gens, and Blight can quickly gen back to kicked gens. The rest that you didn't mention just don't have good synergy with their own perks.
