Probably depends on what sort of engine you have.
Modern Tdci etc should be fine on modern fuel.
If you have old diesel from last century, pump lubrication could be an issue, so lubricity additive may help pump life.
Injector cleaner may help is you have a very filthy fuel system, shouldn't be needed if not.
Multi action additives are quite good, I use Ecomax in my old tractors and landrover, supposed to help with pump lubrication.

Liquidmoly is what I used, bloody good stuff, pricey though

When I broke down (suprise suprise) the AA man told me about some stuff you only get in Ireland but I'm ****ed if I remember what it was.

I use Millers in my 200tdi. The engine runs smoother and quieter with it in the tank, I've never been bothered to work out if it helps with mpg.

This stuff is supposed to be really got, I know a few people that add it to old lister stationery engines they feel it makes the engine run quieter at shows and just keeps the engine internals cleaner.
I've not used it so I don't know, I've got the 2.4 tdci with all the engine management stuff on the engine I'm reluctant to add anything to the fuel. Plus it's expensive.

The additive in shell that cleans the carbon is polyetheramine
redex and cheap types is polybutylamine
Redex took 8 tanks to clear sticking valves, so is not a one shot application.
If you are looking for MPG gain you can:
1cetane booster
2clean carbon deposits
3reduce friction
1I have never looked at cetane boosters
2You may want to have a look at BGCF5
3You may want to have a look at Addo Nano
