Tim Homan's book, "The Hiking Trails of North Georgia." It's a little dated now, but still a good resource.

I've got a few falcon guides, they're ok but they seem like they were written by someone looking at topo maps and not someone who walked the trails.
This book is much better, it's in fact the best hiking guidebook I've ever used and I've used a lot. http://www.amazon.com/Hiking-Trails-North-Georgia-Homan/dp/1561451274
Tim Homan actually walked every trail in this book, took notes, then went back and hiked every trail in the book again while using one of those roller mile counter thingies to calculate mileage.
All hikes I mentioned are 8+ miles over hilly terrain. The Gahuti is the easiest of the bunch.
I'd recommend picking up a copy of Hiking Trails of North Georgia.
For a "Kickass view from the top" it is hard to beat Brasstown Bald. But, I like anything in the Cohutta Wilderness. The book Hiking trails of North Georgia is an excellent guide, and is probably available at a local library, or maybe a hiker you know has a copy.
Jack's River Falls Trail is one of my favorites. But... it's not known for it's long views. There are a couple of approach trails and AT side trails that are very nice, and have great views. Of course, the AT from Springer Mountain....
