As a basic starting point OWASP's top-ten list is fine. I use it when doing intro web-security sessions as a structured way to start people thinking about the things that can go wrong, and I like it for that purpose because some of its items are vague enough to allow good open-ended discussions that take people out of the "just check these boxes" mindset and into full-blown paranoia.

I typically follow it up with a rundown of less-obvious things drawn from my experiences with Django, to point out that even when you cover the OWASP checklist-y stuff you still very easily have major issues.
