Does anyone use or tried octane boosters that you add to your fuel? I have heard they can improve performance and smooth out acceleration and flatspots etc.
Can anyone recommend a good brand, how much to use cost etc

it sounds like those are a gimmick. If you get enough octane in your gas, adding more octane will not help anything. If the gas you are buying has too little amount of octane, then you are in trouble.
