I was asking about those modes where you'd like to see hl-line-mode
active.

From the ELisp manual:

   * If this mode is appropriate only for specially-prepared text
     produced by the mode itself (rather than by the user typing at the
     keyboard or by an external file), then the major mode command
     symbol should have a property named `mode-class' with value
     `special', put on as follows:

          (put 'funny-mode 'mode-class 'special)

     [...] Modes such as Dired, Rmail, and Buffer List use this feature.
