In the Northern Hemisphere you have face-on galaxies M51, M33, M81 and M101, which are up there with M83. Like Mike said, by all reports M51 appears to be the easiest to see the spiral form. M33 and M101 are well known to have fairly low surface brightness, so I think M83 is easier than both. M81 is very bright for a galaxy, but not sure how easy it is to discern its arms.
