Well, it depends on what deck you're playing, and why you need to counter it.
For example, most people use Blaziken FB to counter Dialga LV.X in DialgaChomp if they need PokéBodies for their deck to function. However, if you need to counter it for a different reason (for example, just because it's a good SP deck that's a bad matchup), then Blaziken won't be as good.
Also, some techs can be worked into some decks better than others. Against Gyarados, LuxChomp typically techs in Lucario GL (to make Gyarados' weakness x2) and then a Crobat G, to OHKO Gyara with Flash Bite+Flash Impact. However, Lucario GL won't work in most other decks...

Umbreon UD/COL can be a good tech to wall against many decks. Use moonlight fang and then umbreon can not be harmed by anything with pokebodies or pokepowers which most pokemon have.
But i does depend on what deck you are using and what decks you are going face and/or give you a problem. For example if you're facing luxchomp deck promocroak would be a good tech against luxray but promocroak only really works if you're running a sp deck as well. I dont really see it being used in non sp decks.

In terms of energy teching, I am a big fan of Shaymin UL to reuse its Celebration wind to move your energies around however you like. It will definitely see more play in the upcoming slower format and can prove to be a game changer in decks which focus on energy dependent pokemon.

Combo that with a switch or Warp Point, you get similar effects as the "Fighting Tag" Pokepower on Machamp Prime to aid your own recovery rate in a matchup against the metagame decks
