My top few ...
M42 Orion
NGC 2070 - Tarantula (I could be wrong, I've not seen it for a while!)
M17 - Swan
M8 - Lagoon
M43 - Orion adjunct
M20 - Trifid
M1 (should this be in the list?)
I'm bisased as I use a rather long FL so I could never imagine the north american nebula for eg as bright (even when I lived up north!). The list would be different again if it included planetaries.
