Could you tell me which sounds the most correct and natural: of all or out of all? For example:

Out of all the people I know Kate sings the best.

Of all the people I know Kate sings the best.

If both are perfectly fine, then which one is more common?

Both are correct and sound totally natural, so you can't really go wrong here. That said, I believe "Of all the people..." is likely more common because brevity is used wherever possible by most native speakers.

I think the more common way of saying the same thing would actually be to arrange the sentence differently and say "Kate sings better than anyone else I know" or "Kate is the best singer I know". These sound more natural to me because they put the subject (Kate) at the beginning of the sentence
