What're Good killer perks?
So I want to know what's worth unlocking so I don't waste as much time on other killers that have lesser quality perks.

"hexes"

Take a look at this site for some ideas: https://dennisreep.nl/dbd/perks/killer/
On that site, users can rate all killer perks (you can also click on a particular killer's name to see the highest-rated perks to use on that killer). Obviously, there are going to be differences of opinion, but I find that site very helpful to get some ideas about better vs worse perks. And, of course, even some "bad" perks can be lots of fun or can work well with other perks in particular builds.

Monstrous Shrine, Predator, Unrelenting, and Furtive Chase.
Don't actually, this was a joke. The other comments above are actually good suggestions.

"must haves" that work on basically every killer are: BBQ (leatherface), pop goes the weasel (clown), infectious fright and corrupt intervention (plague), ruin (hag), undying (blight), tinkerer (hillbilly)
and then there are good perks that are really good on some killers but underwhelming on others so I wouldn't go for them first and get them later, these include: every perk from nurse, monitor and abuse (doctor), discordance (legion), devour hope (hag), surge (demogorgon), thrilling tremors and I'm all ears (ghostface), save the best for last (myers), bamboozle (clown), haunted grounds and spirit fury (spirit), enduring (hillbilly), starstruck (trickster)
As others have pointed out the two generic perks sloppy butcher and whispers are solid as well if you have nothing else

I'm honestly just going to go down the line and say which I feel are good to get on which killer
Trapper: Brutal Strength is a pretty good perk, Agitation has it's places though and helps for those basement challenges
Wraith: none of his are really good but Shadowborn does give you some extra sight due to the fov increase
Hillbilly: Enduring and Tinkerer are really good, Lightborn is eh
Nurse: Thanatophobia and A Nurse's Calling are both really good for locating survivors and slowing the game down even by a little
Myers: Honestly all of his are good
Hag: Ruin and Devour Hope are amazing, The Third Seal is eh
Doc: Monitor & Abuse is insanely good on some killers and Overcharge isn't bad either
Huntress: the only perk of hers worth getting is Huntress Lullaby
Bubba: Knock Out is good for M1 killers, BBQ is free bp so that's very nice (and as an added bonus, aura reading), Franklin's not as great but useful if there's a lot of items
Freddy: none of his perks are good unless you're doing an endgame build
Pig: Make Your Choice isn't a bad choice to make and Surveillance let's you see regressing generators so that's good
Clown: Pop Goes The Weasel and Bamboozle aren't bad choices to make, Coulrophobia isn't necessarily amazing
Spirit: Yes, all of them, but for Rancor it's better if you use it as tracking and not a mori
Legion: honestly... I don't really like any of their's, Discordance isn't bad and Iron Maiden is really only good on Huntress and Trickster
Plague: she has 2 meta perks so I'd get those, Corrupt Intervention and Infectious Fright are great, Dark Devotion has its places but not always the best option
Ghost Face: If any, get Thrilling Tremors
Demogorgon: Honestly, none of his are good but I personally like running Mindbreaker
Oni: None of his perks are good by themselves, if you have another obsession perk I would bring Nemesis though
Deathslinger: no good perks
Pyramid Head: Trail of Torment is pretty good, Deathbound isn't awful but not amazing
Blight: Undying is very good, Dragon's Grip isn't awful but not amazing
Twins: None are super amazing, but Coup de Grace and Oppression aren't bad
Trickster: None of them are super worth it, but Starstruck isn't bad
Nemesis: I say Lethal Pursuer is good just because, even though it's easy to guess where survivors spawn, Lethal Pursuer physically tells you where they spawned and then Hysteria and Eruption, aren't the best, only really good on a few

Okay ######### I have a lot of perks to get

Freddy, Slinger, and Oni all crying in low tier perks.

Sort of - for the vast majority of Killers you can do well with just Barbecue & Chili, Tinkerer, and Hex Ruin/Pop/Corrupt Intervention, If you don't have these yet Whispers and NOED (also possibly Enduring) can be used to fill in the gaps till you do.
Honestly using just free perks, a setup with Whispers, Tinkerer, Enduring & NOED is pretty effective until you meet very good survivors when you almost need gen defense perks,

You can start farming points and shards now tbh, Use the points on killer's you have unlocked already or if you bought bubba get to BBQ first solely for the points boost to ease the grind a bit. Then pick and choose after that. There's supposed to be a shrine event in July for 2 weeks, and they'll give you a lot of shards for free (something like 9kish), the shrine resets everyday for that event, so that's gonna help you a ton.
Trouble with freddies is it's mostly endgame perks. Deathslinger's perks i don't think i've ever used in a build, maybe if they buffed dead man's switch to automatically knock survivor's off gens when you hook the obsession, then i'd use it. Oni perks are meh, except Nemesis but even then, it's nothing special.

Discordance: legion
Pop goes the weasel: clown
Hex haunted ground and Rancor: spirit
Barbeque and chilli and Franklin's demise: cannibal
Thanataphobia: nurse
These perks help deal with genrushing and toxic players
