Methylamine (CH3NH2) and methylammonium chloride (CH3NH3Cl) would be a good buffer in both are in solution together in appreciable concentrations.
Nitrates, chlorides, and sulfates (either as acids or salts) will not act as buffers as those anions have no tendency to act as bases (they are the anions from strong acids, which are "strong" because they dissociate completely in solution). The same with alkali metal hydroxides, which are strong bases.

In a buffer solution....you need an acid and a base and the best substances to use are a weak acid and a weak base....you must use a weak acid or weak base and its conjugate weak acid or base. One of the best weak bases is Ammonia..(NH3) and its conjugate acid is Ammonium (NH4+)
