I voted for 47Tuc as I think the view really captures what a globular is about.

My second favourite glob is the Pavo Glob (NGC6752). It too has a nice condensed core, but it also has chains of stars radiating out from the centre and gives the impression of a starfish (another common name for it). Also, this one is quite bright and is a great one for smaller apertures.
