What class/follower combos do people like and what advantages do they hold? I've pretty much only used the templar since I wanted tankage, but there must be better reasons to sometimes use the other two.

My summoner WD uses the Enchantress, because I don't need tankage with 4 dogs and a golem. Also, I can pass off rings and 2-hand weapons I don't need, and they're likely to roll with good stats for the Enchantress as well.

I like Scoundrel for the Monk for the same reason. Dex.

For the other 4 classes, I keep decent legendary drops from a class that shares their primary stat in the stash when I'm done with them.

Again, these are my preferences, not some magic 'mathematical best' combo. I like tankage for my wizard and demon hunter. I like ranged damage added to the Barb and Crusader. Pretty simple, really. I can see using ranged with ranged, perhaps, on SC, but on HC, that delay in the mobs getting to my wizard or demon hunter is nice.

I almost always roll with the Enchantress. Bonus to armor and attack speed is too hard to pass up, although on my particular wiz spec that I use nowadays you kind of want to keep your attack speed low since it is a build that involves lots of channeling. I may try the Templar when I start running T4+ as that life regen might be invaluable. The scoundrel not so much, since I already have plenty of crit chance (around 60%).
