I had not looked much at the surveys (Sky and viewing options > Surveys), but your question prompted me to do so. That is a long list, and takes ages to load on my slowish internet connection. After searching around a bit I tried "DSS colored", then Mellinger, and quite liked it.
In Configuration > Extras, I have checked on both "Nebular background" and "DSS survey". Then when viewing, I have Nebular background on as default, and that view is replaced after clicking the DSS button - and it can take quite a while for the images to appear and resolve clearly, but I definitely prefer it now as a somewhat more natural view on the galaxies and planetary nebulae I tried. I turn it off for clusters and other nebulae.
Have you tried some yourself?
