Well, I can't recommend the YWG myself, but for different reasons. Mine grew up, turned itself grey (not nearly as attractive) and has become the bully of the tank. It ate at least one (that I caught it at) cleaner shrimp, and eats anything that moves or stays still. Add that to the mess it makes of the sand and any low-sitting corals, and you've got the least-favourite fish I've ever owned. Hardy, though. Still going strong years later. And it is categorically, most definitely, NOT shy.

My fav would be the panda goby, but unless you got a nano you wont see it very often.

The Diamond Watchman Goby is also my favorite and for the same reasons listed in Carmen's post.

i really like Red Headed goby's (Elacatinus multifasciatum) and Spikefin goby (Discordipinna griessingeri) but i have yet to see them in person. they look so cool in pictures

How about a Blenny? I have a Bi-color Blenny and he has so much character, I just love him. I find Jawfish have so much personality too, I don't have one YET but will soon I hope.

We have a pair of the spikefin Gobies in the Display RSM at the store. They only come out when the lights are out and I have seen them a few times later at night when doing paperwork. They are really neat as it looks like they hop around on the sand.
