To be honest, your question needs a little clarification or at least the answers need qualifiers.



While I agree the asterism, The Big Dipper, is easy to recognize and the fact that it is in the sky almost every night, the fact that it is often low on the horizion makes it problematic to see if there are trees or haze. As for the rest of Ursa Major, unless you actually know what you are looking for, it can sometimes be difficult to see.

The most recognized proper constellation would be Orion. But Orion is not visible all year round, however when it is visible, it passes high into the sky and is very easy to spot.



So I would suggest that consider both of those candidates and then go out and decide which one you want to pursue.
