Some more Gao family Cheng style
This is an older video but has some good representative bagua in it.

Han Yanwu's Cheng Baguazhang
As I understand it, Han Yanwu is the lineage successor to Liu Jingru. If you've ever seen Liu's videos and he has a disciple there, it's probably this guy but with a moustache. He doesn't have a moustache in this video and while it doesn't hurt his bagua it does hurt my heart <3
Edit: I have been informed that Jackie Yao Wu Hu has maintained his moustache

Gao Ji Wu's linear palms
The linear palms are where you can really see the xingyiquan influence in the Gao branch, and Gao Ji Wu's disciple spends a lot of time getting hit and thrown in this video.

Here's another one, Luo Dexiu's yizong Gao style baguazhang
I don't know much about this branch of Gao but I really appreciate Luo's emphasis in this video on takedowns, especially since this is supposed to be Cheng derivative and he presumably used it with shuai jiao

How about some representative videos?
I'm a fan of good body method and people that are clearly moving within principle. I think it would be interesting to see some videos of some of the representative baguazhang systems out there being done well. This one is cheng style gao family, which is what I'm most familiar with, these are the eight big palms. No clue who this guy is but he moves very well.
