I love Orion. He was the first one I recognized as a child. He is the first I look up to see, and I always find him quickly. He is strong and such a good friend to me.
Maybe not a constellation, but I love the Pleiades. I feel grounded when I find it and it leaves me thinking about all the possibilities in the universe.
Another vote for Orion. When I was a kid and you could see stars in NYC, I thought it was placed right over my elementary school (on purpose, maybe as a guard?) because it was in the sky in that direction.
I would say Orion as it's easiest to spot in areas where there's light pollution. Plus if Betelgeuse goes supernova in my lifetime I'll be able to find it quickly!
:D
The only ones I can find by myself are the dippers and Cassiopeia. I think my husband has pointed out Canis Major and Sirius to me. He knows a lot of constellations. I like learning about the mythology behind it.

Berenices' Hair (just because!)

Where’s Orion?!?
Should be in the winter-spring sky, right?
"Arc to Arcturus; then Spin on to Spica"
Gotta get them Boötes on!
I told her, "look closer." And I used Orion as an example.
BTW I think those seasons are in the wrong place. They should be rotated 180 degrees.
