For purely aesthetic purposes I go for Excelsior. Its streamlines and focused looking.

To be honest, I think you might need the Constitution refit up there as well. Just a thought. <_<

 

This is tough, too. I like the Const refit, Excel, Miranda and Oberth, but the Excelsior has almost always been my favorite ship (at least in my top 3). Like Angel said, it's such a streamlined design.

Constitution class for me. I dunno why, I just think it's a classic design and it looks great. :)

I know it was a science vessel but i liked the miranda. The best part about it was the photon torpedos being launched from the back. almost like the akira class of the future.

I'd pick the Constitution Class Refit since I think it's the most elegant, regal looking ship. Also, isn't the Daedalus conjectual?

It hasn't been seen on screen other than as a model, but it's considered canon.

I'm a big fan of the Excelsior, but if the Constitution is on that list, I go witht he first workhorse of the federation.

Constitution class - the original Enterprise, and its most immediate descendents.

I still think that Excelsior brought on the modern hull configuration of the better Star fleet ships.

 

For example, the Voyager and sSovereign classes both have the elongated saucer section
