I think m42 is the better mainly because you can see it with the naked eye, even from the 'burbs! If Eta was visible naked eye, I would probably cast a vote its way...maybe if it blows up, I might be tempted to change my vote!

Now...if the Tarantula was the same distance as M42...THAT would be a no brainer. But then you would have to decide which produces more light polution, the Moon or Tarantula.
