She'll work with basically anyone. In terms of synergy with carries, she's largely Janna minus the AD buff, but more utility when it comes to things like fighting in bushes. The best time to pick Lulu, imo, is to either foil a kill lane (Blitz, Leona, Alistar, etc.; she does this well, but I wouldn't recommend it without practice) or against a lane you want to be agressive against without losing the benefits of a properly defensive support (carries like Tristana work well with this -- Whimsy either gives Trist the movement speed and AP to finish someone off with a jump, or allows her to win trades with an enemy AD carry due to their being replaced with a kitten, and if all else fails, you have the ult).

In my experience, you DON'T want to pick Lulu against someone like Sona, who does everything fairly well -- if you do, you'll probably find yourself getting outharassed, while your harass is simply healed away. Pick a support on a more extreme end of the spectrum to counteract that -- force kills with a kill laner like Blitz, or outsustain her with Soraka.

There's also the case where certain AD carries either don't match Lulu's playstyle well enough or just have much better synergy with a different support. Varus is probably the best example of this: he's best when he can sit back and harass from afar rather than go in and force trades. Probably best to go with someone like Soraka in his case.
