More specifically, it would be StarFleet designs of the 23-26th century
Oh yeah the D'deridex is cool. And I do wish we could see more Vulcan ships (Discovery does show some)
I wish the D'Kora showed up more often
The Breen warship (Idk if it has an official class name) is pretty cool. It's design is unique and it's energy draining device makes it feel like a real threat
trek didn't really do much smaller craft until DS9
That actually was intended by Sternbach to be a small detachable craft. Even though they haven't shown it as such yet, they still could at some point.
I also rather like the simplicity of the Basking Shark like Doomsday machine.
A recent 60 Minutes program about a so called “Waffle Cone” proof might be adopted as its internals:

It also seemed similar to the Guardian of Forever. the whale probe—even the roughly hewn craft from ARRIVAL.

I voted "other" for Federation Starfleet designs. Even if most of them came from shipyards in the Sol System, there were likely non-Humans working on those designs too.
I couldn't vote for them based on what little we saw, but I feel like Bajoran ships will be really cool once Bajor gets its feet under it - maybe they'll have elements inspired by both Federation and the spoonheads' technologies, but with the unique Bajoran aesthetic applied at starship scale. 
(I'm not counting the jury-rigged, Star Wars-esque vessels we saw in DS9 as part of that aesthetic, obviously!)

IMO StarFleet is it's own Organization/Entity, yes it represents all of the UFP, but it borrows aspects, technology from all member worlds/races.
Every species will have their own unique flair for their local defense force ship design, but StarFleet is definitely it's own design language that might have evolved from Earth, but evolved bit by bit as new species were added and knowledge/tech that made sense gets integrated.
There was a lone Tellarite design in one of the modules.
Most of the Andorian designs were more combat oriented. With later ones having the warp nacelles in close proximity to each other with part of the hull covering them from forward angles. The Chandley-class was Martian, but people thought it looked Andorian due to its nacelle placement and heavy combat focus.
