Hi Everard.

M104 is very spectacular, it will be hard to bear.

Centaurus A is always stunning, as with M83.
NGC4945 and NGC1566 are also well worth a look, still looking great in a 10" dob but absolutely mind blowing in a large scope.

For question 2, it really comes down to:
1) Dark skies
2) Dark adaptation
3) Quality eyepieces
4) Good collimation
5) Averted vision can help squeeze out more detail.
