I have an iMac (always up to date) and my iPhone 6 (always up to date), what settings do I need to change to prevent duplicate photos on my iPhone camera roll? Whenever I sync up my pictures on my iphone double, and then some of them I can't even delete afterwards.

Don't sync duplicates
Exactly how are you syncing?
If you use iCloud Photo Library you will not have duplicates synced

I don't use iCloud photo library, if I do I'll have to pay for storage. Are there certain settings I can use to avoid this? Do I shut off "My Photo Stream" ? There are no duplicates on my mac, they only appear on my iPhone.

Are you syncing with iTunes Photo Sync? iTunes is storing the synced photos separate from the Camera Roll, and you can only delete them by syncing again.
If you transfer your new photos from the iPhone with My Photo Stream, and then include photos that are still on your iPhone into the albums you are syncing with iTunes, you will create duplicates on the iPhone, because they are kept separate.
Steps I do: Plug in iPhone. Open iTunes. Sync phone. I have My photo steam and iCloud photo sharing on. If I shut off my photo stream will my pictures still sync, I just won't have the duplicate issue?
