I think it is nice to start with emission nebulae, in particular narrowband imaging, as a small aperture works pretty well for such imaging.
Galaxies, on the other hand, benefit from a larger aperture and therefore present a more challenging task.
One day I hope to move up to a 10" or so aperture and in this way open the doors to galaxy and planetary nebulae imaging, and for exploring interesting bits within emission nebulae in narrowband as well.
