It really depends on the kind of lane that you are going up against, but I agree that Janna is pretty much the best support that you can have with Ezreal in a lot of situations. I may be a little biased because I am both a Janna and Ezreal player, though.

Soraka can keep the Mystic Shots going forever (hell you can even harass with W now), and prevent or sustain through a good amount of damage, but on offense it's a 1v2. She only has a silence for CC, and no real damage output to speak of. I only like Soraka in a lane where Ezreal can't be aggressive no matter what, but that's kind of rare in my opinion, since Ez is so dominant in the laning phase.

Leona is exactly the opposite. She is aggressive, has tons of hard CC to freeze people in place for skillshots, a passive easily activated by Ez for extra bonus damage, etc. Problem I have with this lane is that it has zero sustain. Heals on the enemies mean you could lose lane even if you win trades, because you get whittled down.

The reason I like Janna is that she has a little of everything. The shield enables up super-easy harass and favorable trades, tornado sets up kills or helps escapes, Zephyr is a strong, long duration slow, and her ult has a ton of useful functions in the lane (emergency healing, reseting an initiation, pushing people into tower, keeping people away from Ezreal, etc etc). She is good at zoning out people, too.

Alistar is a support that I like almost as much as Janna, since he has a consistent heal and good CC available. Ezreal is kind of on his own for harass, though.
