Maintentance-wise, honey locust are probably the most expensive for their size in regard to pruning, because they branch wildly. But there are not too many of those.

Hornbeam are probably the most controllable, and look a bit formal.

A few of my favorite trees incuded:

Crimson Sentry maple
Black Tupelo
River Birch
European hornbeam
Stewartia
Scarlet oak
