A couple of my favourites are IC418 (Red planetary), NGC 3242 (Ghost of Jupiter) and NGC 246 in Cetus. NGC 246 hasn't had much of a a mention, but I think it's quite pretty. In a scope over 15" under dark skies, you see the mottled structure in it and it reminds me of one of those clear jelly blubbers you see floating in the river where you see the 4 transparent quadrants.
Cheers,
