PNP will take time and is longer than express entry. Try to get a good score without depending on PNP. If your score is low and you really need a PNP, take any that you get. There are fewer options for those outside Canada. Quebec is not a part of EE so you can consider any other province.

Look at the websites of all the provinces except Quebec individually. Look at their eligibility. It would really help if you mentioned your occupation code as some PNPs are based on occupations in demand while others depend on CRS.

Well let's be practical then, it seems you're set on a PNP. The ONLY person that can decide WHAT PNP is best is YOU!
Why do I say that? Well, PNP is about picking a province to settle down.. Some people would only consider the bigger and more fashionable provinces like ON or BC, while others like smaller and quieter provinces like NS.
Have you given that any thought? Using PNP as a back door (so not settling in the province that nominated you) is not only frown upon, but it's not cool...
Have you read this - http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/summary-of-eligibility-requirements-for-all-express-entry-pnp-streams-t432937.0.html ?
If not then do, read it and read the sites that belong to the PNPs (like for Ontario - http://www.ontarioimmigration.ca/en/pnp/).
Most PNPs require you to get a job before they'll nominate you (ex: BCPNP)... so be prepared to do some job hunting!
Some have occupations that are in need, if your NOC is in need then you wont need a job. I think SINP is an example here, but don'y quote me on that...
A few, like OINP, will have simpler eligibility criteria like just having above 400 points on EE, but OINP has not yet opened this year... I expect it may open shortly as they've cleared most of the backlog they had from 2016.
In summary: narrow down what provinces you like, then do research on their PNP website to figure out what programes they have available and what criteria you need to meet for each one. Then chose one!
Last but not least - be prepared for the long haul as the PNP route usually takes 1.5 to 3 years!
