To hear it from my Hydra master of a friend, run speed is very useful. In the case of the Hydra you seem to actually move faster hoofing it than swimming. There's also the obvious benefit of better positioning and strafing while letting loose a volley.

Based on my Custom Hydra experience:

-Agreed on run speed, as many as you can manage! My build has one main and 6-7 subs
-Ink recovery/saver - depends on play style, but always useful. IE, i want to be able to drop a sprinkler and get to a full charge on one tank, which necessitates some combo of the 2 savers
-Tenacity - personal fav, pays off in dribs and drabs

for movement
when you like to use your subs often like

For Mini Splatling you could also use but I don't feel its really needed.

I do like since my reaction is a bit slower with normal Splatling

and I think is also nice since this ability suits long ranged weapons better.

For my Custom Hydra... I go with a bunch of Run Speed (2 Mains and 6 Subs) and Ink Resistance Up.

For original Hydra... Ink Saver Main/Ink Saver Sub (or Ink Recovery, either work fine, but I personally prefer the Saver abilities) and Run Speed obviousely.

For the Heavy Splatling, it's the same deal as the Hydra, I look for ink efficiency, because Walls use up a lot of ink. With some Run Speed.

And for the Mini Splatlings, it's the same deal. I go with a bunch of Run Speed paired with Ink Resistance Up.
I use some damage up with the Refurbished Mini for the Burst Bombs though...

Long story short, Run Speed, Ink Resistance Up and Ink efficency perks such as Ink Saver Main and Ink Saver Sub are pretty useful for splatlings.

In my opinion, you need at least 3 main and at least 1 main , and are also very good. I also find useful against defence up users and falloff damage. You could also use for kraken if using heavy deco, but I only use kraken as a shield and not to attack

I recommend tenacity on Custom Hydra and Heavy Splatling Deco, not always, but very useful. For Mini and Custom Hydra, I use up to the equivalent of 5 mains of run speed. On all splatlings I use at least 3 mains of run speed.

Main builds:

Heavy Deco:
4 mains run, 2 mains swim
Tenacity, 4 mains run, 1 main swim

Zimi:
5 mains run, ink resist

Custom Hydra:
5 mains run, tenacity
5 mains defense, bomb sniffer

Some builds for Heavy and Zink Mini I can recommend:
Vanilla HS
1 main + 6 subs
3 subs (it gives you 5 full charges or wall+2 full charges. You run with splatling a lot so it's better then )
Vanilla HS is great choice for port mackerel. Also, cold blooded is still useful. But you can replace it with one more
helps a lot. Especially for CQC

HS Deco
TC:
1 main + 6 or 9 subs
1 main or 3 subs (1 point sensor + 3 full charges) or (depends on map, kraken isn't that great for maps such as mahi and triggerfish)
as always
SZ and RM:
1 main + 6 subs
3 subs

(or )

Zink MS
1 main + 3 or 6 subs
or/and or or
3 subs (more disruptors!)
(I use 0+6, ,, 0+3, and 1+6 without )

3x of run speed up and ink resistance. the other 2 are up to you.
