I feel that the Enterprise-B is okay, the C is fair, but the D never looked right at all....completely out of proportion, with the giant saucer and the rest being tiny by comparison. I really tried to like it and even built a model when the kit was released in the late 80s. But even with that it was saucer-heavy and the most unsatisfying model ever. I have even posted in the past how the nacelles and pylons look as if they were designed after someone's computer desk chair. Granted that in space there are no concerns about such things....still. Aesthetics should count for something. I would not want to serve on something like the D. It looks like a caricature.
The E suffers from 'no-neck syndrome'. It looks squashed down.
I have not cared for renderings of F-G-H-I-J. Tired of the shovel/spoon or triangular saucer trend.
I think the C would have been better with different nacelles and pylons.
The B would have been better with different pylons and a different secondary hull.
For that matter, the original and the A would have been better with larger secondary hull and more substantial pylons.
I would do something with the 25th century, rather than reboot TNG. Although, incorporating a short intro with the TNG crew as a better wrap-up than Nemesis could work nicely if done right as part of the first episode of a new series.
