*Updating as I find out more*
Uplink_OoT did a great job a while back, compiling a list of Hamidon Enhancements.
What I'd like to do is put together a list of which powers the more 'Exotic' HO's can help. I want to be able to tell people "'X' HO affects these powers ...". Help fill in the list with whatever you can.

Membrane Exposure - Increase ToHit and Defense Buffs, and Increase Attack Rate:

"The tip of a shoelace is called an aglet, its true purpose is sinister." The Question
There're relatively few powers in controller sets that buff or debuff accuracy or defense.
Quicksand: Defense Debuff. Don't think there's an accuracy check on this one, so it's only really a candidate for Enzyme.
Smoke: Accuracy Debuff with accuracy and endurance. Lysosome or Enzyme.
Superior Invisibility: Self Def buff with recharge and end (but possibly not meaningfully so). Maybe a candidate for membrane or cyto.
Group Invisibility: Team Def buff with recharge and end. Membrane or cyto.
Spectral Terror: Accuracy Debuff (I think!) with accuracy and endurance. Lysome or Enzyme
Terrify: Accuracy Debuff (minor) with accuracy and endurance. Lysome or Enzyme.
____________
Enzyme
Earth Control - Quicksand
Fire Control - Smoke
Illusion Control - Spectral Terror
Mind Control - Terrify
Lysosome
Fire Control -Smoke
Illusion Control - Spectral Terror
Mind Control - Terrify
Membrane
Illusion Control - Superior Invisibility
Illusion Control - Group Invisibility
Cyto
Illusion Control - Superior Invisibility
Illusion Control - Group Invisibility

You're missing Sonic & Storm here:
Ribosome Exposure - Increase Damage Resistance and Endurance Reduction:
-Defender/Controller - Sonic Resonance - Sonic Barrier, Sonic Haven, Sonic Dispersion
-Defender/Controller - Storm - Steamy Mist
Also, just noticed these are under Lyso, but not under Enzyme:
Enzyme Exposure - Increase ToHit and Defense Debuffs, and Endurance Reduction:
-Defender/Controller Sonic - Liquefy (-DEF, END redux)
-Defender/Control - Storm - Freezing rain - (-DEF, END redux)
-Defender/Control - Storm - Hurricane - (-ACC, END redux)
-Defender/Control - Storm - Tornado - (DEF, END redux)
The list is coming along nicely, but there are still a few that were left out. Storm powers and sonics were covered by the above poster. Some powersets are left off completely, which is not really a bad thing. Fire armor, Stone armor, Ice armor, etc can use Ribos (not Ice) and Cytos (not Fire) but you list out Invuln and SR.
Dark Armor/Melee scrapper powers have been ignored.
Endoplasm: Cloak of Fear, Oppresive Gloom, Touch of Fear
Enzyme: Cloak of Fear
Golgi: Dark Regeneration (Siphon Life too... but does anyone take it? YMMV)
Membrane: Soul Drain
Lysosome: Cloak of Fear (I think Endo's and Enzmes are better for the slotting though.)
And I dont even play a dark...
YMMV---IMO
Ice Ember

Please keep in mind that nothing is being 'left out' or 'ignored'. Anything not listed yet simply has not had someone speak up for it. As soon as someone with experience in those AT's pops in and speaks up, they can get posted.

"The tip of a shoelace is called an aglet, its true purpose is sinister." The Question
Here are a few more additions:
Golgi for Scrapper -- Regen -- Dull Pain
Endoplasm for Blaster/Defender - Electric Blast - Tesla Cage
Enzyme for Defender/Controller - Radiation Emission - Radiation Infection (uses all three)
For the final version, you may want to think about formatting the list a little differently. It is getting kind of hard to read and sort through. Using Colors or different spacing might help. Also, some footnotes to explain:
(1) some HO's may be able to be used in some powers, but would probably be a waste, since one or more of the aspects being enhanced are usually considered to not need enhancement.
(2) Uses only two of the three attributes.
LOCAL MAN! The most famous hero of all. There are more newspaper stories about me than anyone else. "Local Man wins Medal of Honor." "Local Man opens Animal Shelter." "Local Man Charged with..." (Um, forget about that one.)
Guide Links: Earth/Rad Guide, Illusion/Rad Guide, Electric Control
Thanks for the additions.
As to formatting, I alphabetized it better, and I'm always double checking it .. I had just been listing powers as we found them.
As far as annotations go, I may have to think of something .. a different 'Legend' for each section, and I may have to move people's individual notes/comments out to the bottom. I'll see what I can do with it.

"The tip of a shoelace is called an aglet, its true purpose is sinister." The Question
A couple of small corrections I just noticed:
Endoplasm, Defender - Radiation Blast - EM Pulse, should be
Defender/Controller - Radiation Emission - EM Pulse
Also, add "Radiation Emission" to the entry for "Radiation Infection" under Enzyme.
I will add more as I think of them.

You might want to make a note under Centriole that the range portion of melee attacks cannot be increased. For example, Impale from the spines set is classified as melee, even though it has a range. A Centriole in that power will only boost the damage, not its range.
Tank - Stone Armor
Nucleolus - none can use more than one attribute (Mud Pots might, I'm not sure if they added in an accuracy check for PvP)
Centriole - none can use more than one attribute
Peroxisome - none can use more than one attribute
Endoplasm - none can use more than one attribute
Lysosome - none can use more than one attribute
Enzyme - none can use more than one attribute
Ribosome - Brimstone Armor and Granite Armor
Microfilament - none can use more than one attribute
Golgi - Rooted, Earth's Embrace
Membrane - none can use more than one attribute
Cytoskeleton - Rock Armor, Crystal Armor, Minerals, Granite Armor (all def buff/end red)
[ QUOTE ]
-Blaster - Devices - Smoke Grenade uses all 3 parts.
[/ QUOTE ]
This is in error. Only the to-hit debuff and accuracy of the Lysosome is functional in Smoke Grenade. Smoke Grenade has no -DEF component, only -ACC (and the -PER, but that doesn't really matter since it self-suppresses and also suppresses other -PER powers the user might have).
I got playing my WS seriously again today....and Shadow Cloak recharges much less quickly than I had remembered (read hallucinated). So slotting for DefBuff and Recharge is actually a good combination.

[/ QUOTE ]
Are you sure about this because impale takes range enhancements. I haven't tried slotting a range enhancement, but it sure seems screwy for them to allow the slotting of range in impale if it does nothing. This wouldn't be the first power where an allowed enhancement did almost no good though.
If Impale takes range enhancements, I may be wrong about that specific power. I remember something about all tank/scrapper attacks being classified as melee, whether they have a 20 foot or 5 foot range (though I could be wrong on that). There's this post by Castle, which confirms my general statement. Impale and other powers like it (hurl, hurl boulder) may be exceptions, but I'd like independent confirmation of that.
Recent additions of centrioles to my Claws scrapper's Focus says both range and damage are being increased assuming both my in game perception of the range and the management screens reported +% increases to the range portion are correct.
Doomguide
Slotting a dam/mez into Eagle's Claw boosts its disorient, but according to the enh screen it also boosts the hold, immob, sleep aspects... even though it only has disorient, and will never hold, immob, or sleep a mob. The fact that it says it's boosting range on the enhancement screen merely is a reflection of the fact that you have a range-boosting enhancement slotted in the power. Technically, you could slot a centriole into any melee power, since melee powers take damage enhancements, and it would tell you that you're boosting the range. But you aren't, because melee powers' ranges cannot be boosted. Impale, hurl, hurl boulder and focus may, as I said, be exceptions. I somehow doubt it though.
I can say for sure that Hurl takes range enhancements - I have 2 Centrioles slotted & can notice the difference.
Unslotted it has a range of 40 - with 2 range enhancements (or 2 centrioles) at even lvl it gets boosted to 56. Easy to notice the difference when using the power on a regular basis.
edit:
I think what the devs are changing is the fact that some melee powers were being affected by the range portion of Centrioles even though they do not accept range enhancements - Hurl accepts regular range enhancements.

Okay, yeah, I think you might be right. If it can take Range SO's, it will be affected by a Centriole. However, my point still stands. Melee attacks, even though a Centriole can be slotted in them, will not be affected (spine burst and dragon's tail to be ones to watch out for then, since they're aoe, people might think you can increase their range).
Perhaps even a general note saying that if a power does not list being able to use an attribute from a Hami enh, it will not be affected by that part of the Hami enh. Of course, then there's the exception of tohit buffs and debuffs acting like each other and defense buffs and debuffs acting like each other.

Does Impale (and Hurl, etc...) take Range Enhancements? If it does, then it (the HO) is using both parts .. If you cannot normally slot it for Range, then the Range part of the HO should have no effect.

So - how about this warning: (Note - the range portion of some melee attacks cannot be increased, even though they may affect a larger than normal range. Be sure the power normally accepts Range + Damage enhancements before slotting this)
I'm trying a little formatting in this next post .. hpefuly I don't break anything.

*Updating as I find out more*
