I have a few with 2-3 IVs in my collection, but I tend only to use them when I have to, since I try to breed in egg moves along the way.

I'm going to admit my stupidity and say I only really just started breeding for egg moves around the time of Black/White. Â I didn't really use a lot of online resources other than to read bios and remember when/how certain Pokemon evolved and just tried to get Pokemon I liked to raise up. Â Then I got a couple of Pokemon with moves I was unfamiliar with them having through GTS trades and I wondered how that happened and I finally discovered the joys of egg move breeding. Â
I do try to keep a decent Ditto on-hand for some things, but these days it is mostly only used to breed male-only or genderless Pokemon. Â The rest of the time it sits in the box, plotting against me.
It's something I've gotten into recently as well, and the rules seem to change each game, so there's always something to learn. I don't usually go after specific must-have moves. I just give them moves from fathers that I have in my collection.
That's pretty much what I do with dittos. I prefer to just inbreed my pokemon with their parents over and over.
