Imo the high contrast albinos with as much yellow/orange as possible are the nicest.

Unfortunately the NERD faded albino was a one-off that popped up at random, and last I heard it wasn't genetic. But I have seen some comparable faded albinos floating around kingsnake and the fauna classiefieds since then, including one pair of twins. So you probably could breed selectively for it.
Re: Albino High/Low Contrast
I would likely be looking to find a faded albino female, that way the coloring I love would be the largest example it could be!
What combinations go well with Albino, and what do they look like?

I'm not really crazy about Albino combos myself - the only ones that I like are Albino Pin, Albino Spider and Albino Pied.
I actually picked up my albino male with no intentions to breed him, I just wanted to have a nice looking albino. However, if I find a nice albino female that appeals to me, I might consider breeding just for more reduced pattern albino's. The pure albino (not in a combo) is what I like best!
Re: Albino High/Low Contrast
It sounds to me like you would like a high white albino pied the best. Then it would have large areas of white and the crazy striped and swirly pattern of a pied. The most common combos are the ones Robin said. Those in particular are very reduced pattern. The spider and pin albinos are mostly yellow with only thin lines of white. It may be more fun to try to make your own. Like I said before just find a very high pattern BP (lots of black patterning) and breed it with a very faded female albino. Then hold back the most reduced pattern male you get and breed it back to the female albino the following season.
