I find it hard putting comets up for the competition of which one is best. They all hold a special place in my mind and each one has a different personality. Although some dont put on a bright show they can look quite spectacular in they're own way. I have a few I remember some I cannot remember the names of but have seen them, each one was great, including Halley.
Halley, was my first comet so holds a special place there.
Hyakutake was my first comet that I followed from 8 days after its finding, I found it in my 4.5" telescope, and found it each night for 8 more days then I lost it, I waited till its reappearence from the northern Hemisphere, and wasn't disapointed.
Hale-Bopp was good with nicely split Ion tail, Macholz Was very impressive with its green tinge, WM1 was the first comet I looked at through my 8" f7 telescope. there were a couple of others in there too, but cannot remember the names....
