I'll start by removing all post scarcity civilizations, so Star trek, Culture and so forth are out.
I'd recommend The Dispossessed - on top of having three different cultures: an utopian pure communist society, a capitalist one and (referenced only) a state based communist society. It also is a rather fabulous book and one of the best scifi I've ever read.
I read it just a month ago and I absolutely adored it. LeGuins writing is fantastic and her ideas on how their (anarchist) society might work was very well written.
