Just looking a the online calculators and I see you can use DME and I think corn syrup? to prime beer. Which would be the best as in the past I have used sugar.

Table sugar and dextrose are equally as good for priming imo, although the quantities used to achieve the same result are slightly different, and table sugar is cheaper and for that reason that's why I use it.
Whatever you use don't put any more than 95g equivalent table sugar into your PB.
 
I just use regular unrefined table sugar, and use (I think) a Brewers Friend calculator for CO2 volumes, I tend to go lower on my PB volumes, impossible to pour otherwise.
