What perk should be killer base kit for You?

Neither. But if given the choice - it would be a LOT better if survivors were placed in genuinely random places, and all generators were blocked for 10 seconds.

The fact that the survivors basically start the game in the black while the killer begins the match trying to come back from the red is NOT an attractive balance option. But there are workarounds for it. This would be a controversial bandaid solution, though.

A much easier buff if they need an across the board boost for all killers is simply add a few seconds to the time it takes to complete a gen. Changing that parameter is a simple numerical change in terms of programming and it can be fine tuned up or down in whatever increments are desired. I imagine at most they'd need to turn that completion time up a few seconds to compensate for Borrowed Time being base kit since it would probably only shift kill rates a few percent.

10 seconds lets your average killer walk 46 meters which will allow them to cross half or more of pretty much any map in the game before Survivors can start doing gens and maybe even get into chase. That's not nothing.

It's really not. Preventing survivors from getting a 10 second head start is huge in matches. This is why Lethal Pursuer is such a strong perk - because it allows the killer to prevent the momentum shift in those first few seconds. While it's no corrupt intervention, stalling generators for 10 seconds and forcing survivors to look for totems, search chests, or reposition first thing would completely change the game dynamic and may even be too killer sided in some respects.

60 seconds is far too long. Corrupt Intervention is one of the strongest killer perks in the game and you're basically going to set that to default at half potency.

Corrupt is, legitimately and without dispute, one of the STRONGEST killer perks in the game right now. Giving it to each match as default, even at a reduced value, is extreme overkill. Giving deadlock to base kit is also extreme overkill, because it's extremely strong in almost every circumstance and has guaranteed value.

If you'd want to introduce these aspects to the game by default, you'd have to annihilate their potency to balance them out and keep their core perks relevant.

Blocking all gens for the first 10-12 seconds is a massive shift in the game dynamic. I believe it would be a healthy alternative, but it may bee too strong for certain matchups.

Blocking the strongest gen after generator completion actively punishes survivors for doing what they're supposed to do. It's a good perk, but it's a bad core mechanic. While it may stop survivor momentum, you'd either have to make it low enough to be balanced - which makes it more annoying than useful (Block for 5-8 seconds) or it would shatter the fun and effectiveness of playing survivor.

My point is not that either one of these are good or legitimate suggestions, it is simply that Deadlock - by design - cannot be base kit. At least Corrupt can have a tiny, tiny application and hold a powerful dynamic shift. But in truth, neither of these perks should really be made base kit in any capacity.

One thing they could do (But idk how smart this is) is lower the BASE generator progress by 15% (68 seconds) and increase the progress needed to complete a generator by 5% (4 seconds) for each generator remaining in the match.

The first generator would take 20% longer (96 seconds), but the moment it pops - the cap of other generators is reduced by 5% (4 seconds). This would increase the time it would take to complete the first few gens, but make the match gradually more tense and competitive. The final generators would take the default 100% (80 seconds) but the added time would prevent early game genrushes - while also making it very satisfying for the entire team when one generator pops - as the progress of the other ones basically gain 5% progress nearly instantly.

This is just a wild suggestion, the values would have to be tweaked and balanced. But this would give the killer 16 more seconds to react before the first generator pops, and give the time between the first repairs to the last generator popping a potential 40 seconds additional time to the match. Not insignificant - as it can easily be chewed through with a coordinated team and good items - however it may be a bit much.

It's just a more eloquent solution than adding a flat 8 seconds to all generators (10% more) it will make the last two generators to compete far too difficult as the killer closes in. 3 gen situations will become unwinnable. You want the first generator to be much harder, but make the last generator as it is - or even easier than before.

Like you said - I respect your opinion, but do not agree.

May I say - the fact that we can be so civil about our differing points of view is one of the best things about this community. Thank you for being respectable.
