What would you recommend

From a dark sky site, you could fairly easily see over 1000 to 1500 galaxies with an 8" dob. But from a suburban backyard, the number would be considerably less. Though hundreds of open clusters and globular clusters could still be seen (though not as nice as when viewed from a dark sky site).
The Orion Nebula is simple to see with binoculars, telescopes just magnify and enhance the view.
