For a great visual spectal nothing gets more ohh and ahh's like 47 Tuc. I have even had a friend from the US take an involentary step back in supprise from his first view of the cluster. an unfortunate thing to do if you are 3 steps up a ladder. He didn't hurt himself and went back up for a better view.
I also chose 47 as it is looking like OC in not a globular at all but the remains of a Dwarf elliptical galaxy.
For me personally the Globular that is my favourite in the Milky Way is AM1 as it is VERY FAINT and difficult to find.
It is visible in a good 18" scope.
