Allies: Emperor's Children
From the pre-Heresy when Ferrus and Fulgrim were besties. They offer melee expertise, challenges and speed.
Their main advantage remains the same, hitting easier and faster in melee while ignoring armor. Iron Hands are slow and emphasize their defense over all. A shattered Legion army could be more fluffy  while allowing for an Allied Detachment. 

An IH+EC army is about appealing to the fluff in some way. Getting something back after Isstvan III is appealing in the face of so much loss. Playing the Crusade Era back when their Primarchs were the best of friends may be better reflected by two different players, since they can then play as enemies in Heresy-era narratives.  

Phoenix Terminators - Stylish and their spears are deadly but they need their own assault vehicle. 
Palatine Blade Squad - Chosen that can all take spears, jump packs and Sonic Shriekers.
Rylanor the Unyielding - Vontemptor Dread, Loyalist only, so fluff appeal, but he's like a walking banner just for EC.
Kakophoni - The word on Traitor style. Their weapons are like special Volkite Calivers but that get hot. If you can get a target to fail Ld tests they take D6 AP2 wounds. If you like cyborg style and super fancy gear then you might run these as part of your hook for an IH traitor detachment, but you wouldn't do that…would ya?
Lord Commander Eidolon - Traitor zombie leader. Now this guy offers a real benefit to Iron hands by increasing their charge range, negating the loss from all their Hardened Armour. However he demands being in charge so no go as an Allied Detachment. 
Captain Saul Tarvitz - Loyalist only. Shares Counter-attack with his unit. Has PE(EC) so if you have EC in your meta, teach those traitors a lesson.
Fulgrim - No, if it's not a full Bro-mance list then keep his ass away!

Ultramarines as Allies
The ultra-smurfs are part of the loyalist Shattered Legion super combo right next to the Iron Hnds. That really is their main strength as allies, treating other legionnaires as their own for their buffs. HTis is also how you always dreamed of fielding a Master of Signals and a Damocles, in one slot, which is still a Shattered Legion thing. 
Legatine Axes are glorious and giving your Breachers Power Swords is a big deal upgrade.
The Mantles of Ultramar offers some synergy with IH style, especially Gorgon Termis. 

An IH+UM army has weak fluff and some minor synergy options outside of a Shattered Legion power combo. 

Invictarius Suzerain Squad - Chosen warriors with shields and Legatine Axes that can buff Ld for allied Solar Auxilia or Imperial Militia units. Again plugging for Shattered Legion.
Honoured Telemechrus - Loyalist Contemptor from the Calth box with Hatred (Traitors).  
Locutarus Storm Squad - A Jump squad that wants to Deep Strike, re-roll scatter and fire double shots with their pistols. Not amazing but no downside either.
Fulmentarus Terminator Squad - A heavy support missile squad that want to be taken in a full unit. These guys want to be in an allied detachment for the extra HS slot. 
Captain Remus Ventanus - Loyalist with unimpressive abilities BUT he carries a Standard, which is always desirable.
Damocles Command Rhino - Available to everyone already, but Um MoS can take them as DTs, which makes them strongly worth considering. 
Roboute Guilliman - Maybe in some fluffy narrative your IH could fall under his command for a while.

Mechanicum as Allies
Major synergy here! Marine armies already have the ability to bring Battle Automata on their own. IH have an additional option on top of that. But taking an allied detachment lets you bring all types of Automata and a ton of powerful wargear.

IH with Machanicum allies is a winning combination that give you all the fluff, style and synergy you want to build the best cyborg army. They keep up with your defense and share the special shooting options. They can even fill the gaps for needed power melee units but it tends to come at a premium.  

Taghmata
Your customizable primary option that will suit pretty much all your allied detachment needs. These can fill any holes in your primary or support whatever strategy or big models you may have, especially fortifications and Super-heavies. 
Legio Cybernetica
If you want to bring nothing but automata and a lot of it then this is the best way. It gets expensive to take full advantage of this kind of detachment. If you just want that sexy Thanatar, this is going too far.
Ordo Reductor
If you live and breath big guns then this is you. Magos and Myrmidons bring weapons built to make marines disappear.

Magos - This is your defining guy.
Archimandrite: Demands being in a Primary so no good for this.
Malagra: An anti-Mechanicum option for killing monsters.
Myrmidax: Love Myrmidons? sure ya do! Build your blaster boss and zap everything that moves with Precision!
Ordinator: Add a one shot Bombardment and give him Armourbane+Wrecker. Do you have a problem with enemy buildings or outflanking armor? Crush it.
Lachrimallus: This is about slave mastering the blobs of Adsecularis and keep them recycling. Makes an appeal to Dark Mechanicus cult style.
Macrotek: A super cheap option that brings and extra fortification and offers maximum repair potential.
