Your best bet at this time of year is M31 (Andromeda Galaxy), NGC 253 or NGC 55. As they are all quite large I would use low magnification (try any of the EPs you mentioned). Try observing the Sculptor galaxies when they are high in the sky and late at night (midnight on) when there are less lights on. Also at this time, if you can get a low-sky northern view is the Andromeda galaxy. Should be able to see it in binoculars.
