I personally like Richard Hemming #11, and Jeanna Kimball's size 11. But you should really try different needles - what works for me might not work for you. If you haven't hand quilted before, a size 10 might be more comfortable.
I usually buy a pack of quilting needles if I stumble across a brand I haven't seen before.
Edited to add: these are betweens, not straw needles.
