Does anyone know any good tips for Kinematics? For example knowing when to use which kinematic equation out of the basic four. What method works best for you?

It's the same way you get to Carnegie hall.
....practice, practice, practice!
If you understand and know the equations...it just takes a bunch of practice. You'll start seeing which equations to use under which circumstances. Sometimes, there's multiple ways to get an answer...but one way is faster.

Digging that teamwork.
OP - you use the equation that has the givens from your prompt. Usually only one will have the right combination of terms to allow you to solve. You do that a bunch of times and it starts to get pretty intuitive.
