I recommend the YM or mini-sized dow futures. The ES is also good but you may need to use a wider stop compared to the YM. I think its traders preference.

Obviously the ES is more liquid. Its like the YM on speed.

I personally find the NQ to be useless. I wrote an article before for a different forum on "Why the NQ sucks"
