What's your favorite depiction of hyperspace, be it's a true parallel universe or the Bulk, accessed by gate or by drive? You go to some other place and then hop back in order to get to your destination faster than light would have.
Slipspace from Andromeda. It's active, perilous and explains why a setting with AI well in excess of human capabilities has a mortal pilot.
Some of the very early depictions of the Warp in 40k were really great too though they phased that out in favor of making it DARK. 😡AND. 😡 ANGRY. 😡.
That takes away from the weirdness when it's just space hell and nothing else.
I think my ideal depiction would be something between Slipspace and Fluidic Space from Trek. It's important to make it more than just a loading screen IMHO, unless your ships are very large/you travel extremely far.
On a vaguely related note, we need more love to slow FTL. There's nothing wrong with flying for several days, or perhaps having instant jumps but relatively slow real space approaches from and to the jump point.
