This is hard, because every ship is a product of its time and the needs of its series. And, like, I can easily rule out the TOS-era Enterprise or Enterprise-A, but I still got choked up at Discovery's modernised recreation of the "Cage"-era bridge, complete with original sounds, un-ergonomic '60s chairs and weird lampshades over the ops and conn stations.
(And the ridiculously subtle detail that most of the regular female characters, with the exception of Michael -- who needed to look young and vulnerable in that episode -- wore more eyeliner after they evacuated to the Enterprise. It's harder to tell with Georgiou, who had her vengeance eyelashes on, but Kat and Tilly are definitely wearing more than usual, and Number One, of course, always has small wings.)
(I pay more attention to make-up than starships, shut up.)
Anyway, I think my favourite-favourite has to be the Enterprise-D -- yes, it's dated, so dated the wood paneling on the bridge is almost cool again, but it's also the design all the other '90s Treks react against in their starship looks. When I was thirteen, I was more upset by the destruction of the ENT-D in Generations than Kirk's death, and I stand by that.
( The rest of the days. )
