In the euc family I go Corymbia tessalaris (Moreton Bay Ash)

In the street tree scene I go Buckinghamia celsissima (Ivory Curl tree)

In the exotic/imported I think Caesalpinia ferrea (Leopard tree)

In the overall be great to have a good one and show it off I'd go Brachychiton rupestris (Qld Bottle Tree)

In my experience all of the above are extremely reliable in adverse weather, dont have invasive roots, great form, and usually do reasonably well here without too much TLC.
