depend on what you want.
pumpkinseeds and longears will be among the most colorful sunfish you can get, but there are plenty of impressively colored darters, shiners, and dace.

my bluegill are interesting and nicely patterned, but their colors are subtle.

Huge fan of Longears. There are many varieties of Longears and only will get to about 9 inches each. Tons of personality just like cichlids too! In a 210 you could keep a bunch of them too. You sure got a clean slate there 
You will have fun with whatever you put in there!

Also if Longears 9inches is too big for you, the northern longear can only get 5 inches and there is also the incredibly colorful Dollar sunfish. They cap out at 5 inches too I believe. Also look at Orangespotted, Bluespotted, and Banded Sunfish. ^.^ good luck!
Nothing better than rock bass, crappie, green sunfish, warmouths and pumpkinseeds!!! A mix of aggression, personalities and amazing colors

As others have said, panfish make a great display. Great personality and social structure. Really anything up to chain pickerel would be a good fit. LMB, pike, musky, walleye and the like are too big. Personally I like American eels, bullhead, burbot, chain pickerel and panfish. Burbot can be harder to care for so unless you really want one I would leave it out. A small school or yellow perch can be a nice display too
i agree with the panfish. pumpkinseeds and bluegill are pretty interesting to watch and have great colors.
