I like iCloud's feature of synchronizing contacts between iPhone and iPad. It does not sync Notes for me, which is just as well - I want to have different notes on the two devices. I do not turn on iCloud for photos because I don't want to waste space for duplicate photos - I use the cord to plug each device into my computer's USB port and drag them to the big hard drive for backup. I don't use the cloud drive feature because i think it does too much copying but the family sharing feature looks interesting to me.
