I use basil sown with my tomatoes as it envigorates the tomatoes and I can use it in pesto and other tomato dishes once it is harvested. Others like chamomile with my brassicas seem to attract good pollinators and is lovely sown between the plants. Beans seem to do a little better with summer savory as cucumber appreciates a little oregano. Some of these are perinneal and will come back next season and all are useful in the kitchen or as potpourri. I use these in addition to flowers and have a useful productive and lovely garden. (please excuse spelling, I'm a good gardener but a terrible speller)
