Both of them are perfectly natural and mean the same. 'That' is optional.

She is the most talented teacher that I have ever known or She is the most talented teacher I have ever known.

The present perfect tense refers to the past and connects your experience or event to the present.

Both are correct, but the second one is informal; it is recommended to use the first form in writing that is formal enough.
