Here are some I can think of:
XenForo:
Double Post Merge
Donations (If you're going to use donations)
Widget Framework
Chatbox (If you're going to use chatbox - TaigaChat if possible)
BB Codes
Username Change
User Upgrades
XenCore Tools (PRIORITY)
There are plenty more free & paid addons (Unless you get them from a nulled website)
IPBoard (Invision Power Board):
Chatbox
Donations
It all depends what you're trying for. I use IPBoard for a gaming forum because it's 10x better than XenForo, but if you were to use it for a dicussion / social type like Invision-Virus, I would suggest XenForo.
Up to you though man, hope this helps you.

To me, I honestly just need a few to last. If you have more than like 7-10 plugins then I feel like members would be cluttered with all these things. Don't get me wrong though, if you have like 7-10 plugins that are all "behind the scenes" kind of things then you're fine, but if they are all design based like member-maps and like website games then I feel like members will be less likely to want to spend more time on your website. But my top 5 favorite addons are bellow.
1. Shoutbox
2. Group Icons (displayed on profile and forums)
3. TS Integration
4. Notification Addon for Chrome
5. Applications

My recommendations for IPB, at the very least
- Group Name Indicator (adds a legend to tell you what usergroup is what on the forum index)
- Awards (Promotes activity)
- Server List (Especially for a gaming community, even if all you have is a TeamSpeak server it's always nice to have your status displayed somewhere)
- There's another plugin floating around called Server Console or something like that, and that's more geared to status checking of things like a VPS/dedicated server etc. Haven't messed with it but I'm sure it could ultimately monitor whatever your heart desires.
- Chatbox
- Donations (Or if you don't want to add more shit to your board you can mess with Nexus and setup donations that way
)
- Anything that's a login handler. I typically stick with what's already included in Community Enhancements as well as Steam/Twitch etc.
