Used to live in MLB - saw so many I lost track. The night ones are (were) the best. Awesome. There aren't really any bad spots to view launches from up around the Cocoa/Titusville area.
Coolest thing I ever saw was the shuttle coming in piggyback on the 747 - while I was up practicing maneuvers as a flight student. That was pretty cool seeing it from the air.
By the time it clears the launch tower it's already doing over 100 mph - straight up. That gives you some idea of the acceleration.
