Most definitely anything that lets me fire explosive shots - so, Ipecac, Fetus in a Jar or Epic Fetus would be my favourites. Epic Fetus is probably the king there, as you can target any single place in the room with it regardless of where you're standing. Also makes any boss a cakewalk.
Ipecac < Fetus in a Jar < Epic Fetus in terms of ease of use. The arc from the Ipecac takes quite a bit of getting used to.
Here's a pic of
one of my best runs - I was lucky enough to run into just about all the Super Meat Boy items.
Although I really should've gone to the Cathedral instead of Sheol. I was at the point where you collect pieces of the polaroid.

I find the mask-heart combinations a lot tougher, though.
Knights are certainly a pain when they're in a group. However, there's a trick to them - they charge at you when they see you, and won't stop until they hit a wall. As such, simply get in their way, circle around their back while they're charging, and blast away.
There's other ways to hurt them from the front too. Bomb don't care which side is facing them, for one. Poison shots or bad gas items (random pills, the bean item) will poison and hurt them from the front. Any puddle creating items should hurt them when they walk over them. Companion flies and the cube of meat hurt them on contact too.
And oh god I hate those mask-hearts. They have a habit of mobbing me, charging, and then continuing to charge at me even when I get out of the way, or getting in the way of the hearts. I've rarely taken out a room with them without getting hurt if I don't have flight.
The mask boss is even worse, as it starts off with the heart thing and then turns into the equivalent of a really big, really fast knight.
