Yeah, I didn't include either of the Kelvin Timeline Enterprises in my judgment but if I did both of them would rank lower than the 1701-E. A lot lower.
No lens flares for you!
FIRE EVERYTHI...
wait, what?
wait, what?
The Kelvinverse 1701 is a thing of beauty. It makes the original and movie versions look spindly and frail.
My Enterprise beauty rankings:
1. TOS 1701 and 1701-D (tie)
2. 1701-A
3. DIS 1701
4. 1701-E
5. NX-01 / Kelvin Timeline 1701 (tie)
6. 1701-B
7. 1701-C
8. 1701-J
9. Kelvin Timeline 1701-A
Edited to add:
Dishonorable mention to the 1701-F from Star Trek Online. I didn't include any non-canonical Enterprises, but if I did, it would rank below the Kelvin Timeline 1701-A.

I can't say I'm a huge fan of the DSC ships. They just look...weird. If an Enterprise turns up, I'm almost hoping they'll make it a bit of a throwback.
As for existing Enterprises, I freaking LOVE the DSC version of the 1701. I am so pumped for SNW, I think it's gonna become my favorite Trek series of all time (which ENT currently is). I don't really have huge opinions about the other Enterprises...except I wish the Ent-C was the original Andrew Probert Ambassador class, and I definitely wish the C had a decent bridge!
Although they have an easy out regarding the last bit: perhaps the bridge we saw in "Yesterday's Enterprise" was only the battle bridge.

All Enterprises ever created for the franchise pale in comparison to the TOS NCC-1701 and the 1701 Refit and Enterprise-A.
The TOS Enterprise is my favorite by far, I'm biased because I grew up on TOS in the 60s/70s.
One thing I'll say about the E-D, Back in 1987 a little while before TNG started, the first time I saw a picture of the new Enterprise-D in some magazine, I at first thought a mistake had been made in the process of setting up the picture. I thought they had accidentally stretched it horizontally like the carnival mirrors that makes you look very short and wide.
I'm not kidding, I truly thought this the moment I saw it. After just a couple of seconds, I realized that there had been no mistake, the new ship really did look that way. But I wasn't certain until I saw another picture of it a few days later.
All I can say is look at the thing, it really is quite wide and flat.

I assume the Kelvin Enterprises are the worst because honestly if you put a gun to my head I couldn't picture them to save my life.
I like some,but most of them I couldn't care about most. Also, they are not characters like people are.
Yeah. I like the look of some (1701, 1701-A, 1701-C, 1701-D, etc.), don't care for others (Kelvin 1701-A, those weird ones in Discovery that look like little saucers with bars through them), am indifferent to most (Defiant, Discovery, Excelsior, Cerritos, Stargazer, Reliant, etc.), but it doesn't really factor into my enjoyment of the show/movie/whatever.
I generally like the ships I list under indifferent, I just really don't care.
Whenever someone unironically uses the term "hero ship" it triggers me TBH.
Except in very rare cases the external features of the ship don't in any way relate to the plot of the week, and how a ship looks ultimately has zero bearing on the story.
Me too, a little.
