Winner: TOS, season 3
1st runner up: Monster Maroon
2nd runner up: First Contact
Honorable mention: VOY "Drive" flight suit
 
The Beyond uniforms are cool. They look like TOS meets Kirk's TMP Admiral uniform.

I really like the uniforms in The Cage, the wonderful variety in TMP, the original TNG uniforms, and the early third season remodelled TNG uniforms that looked one piece but were two piece.
 
Genuinely love the Disco uniforms (apart from having the rank pips on the chest insignia - would prefer braids on the cuffs).
Runner up would be the TNG season 4-7 uniforms.

Honourable mention to the ST09 uniforms.

The FC/DS9 unforms look cool but also uncomfortable, and the Beyond uniforms aren't great either.
 
1. TWOK
2. FC/DS9

I also really like the Beyond ones, and I think the laterTNG uniforms would have been great if the coloured part ended in a straight line, instead of that silly asymmetrical shape.

To me that asymmetrical shape echoed the bottom part of the Starfleet delta - also asymmetrical, with a thicker part on the right and a thinner part on the left, so it helped to tie the uniform together and reinforce the Starfleet-ness of it all. It's a shame that part was lost and only the shoulder yokes were kept in future uniform revisions (even Enterprise had them).

They're supposed to. The colored part of the TNG uniforms, from the beginning, were to mimic the shape of the delta wrapped front to back over the top of the wearer. The wider corner on the right front, narrower corner on the front left, and the single downward point on the left side of the back were to represent the points of the delta.

It worked really well for the jumpsuit design, but looked a bit weird on the two part uniform. The jumpsuit with high collar was the best TNG version. I'm also one of those weird people who likes TMP uniforms, I definitely prefer them over the stuffy monster maroons. Beyond had some pretty cool uniforms too, I particularly like that landing party jacket (though it would work better in grey.) I really cannot choose one favourite, there are aspects I like and aspect I dislike in each iteration.
 
Ugh. can you imagine being expected to wear a giant logo to work every day?

It was a terrible idea, and whoever came up with it and approved it should have been thrown in an agonizer for 2 years.
 
And they look pretty damn close to the original Enterprise uniforms

I don't think that other than being blue there's much resemblance.

Given the choice, I would have preferred these. They're not stylish, they're loose and have usable pockets, they look like a garment intended to be worked in. Love the way the wrinkled white t-shirt is peeking out.

Instead of being snug, fashionable and obviously intended to have you stand with your tummy pulled in while have you're picture taken.

You have no idea how many times I've been sat at a computer in normal gravity all day like most of the crew of Enterprise and then thought to myself "Damn, I wish I was wearing a one piece flight suit right now! There's nothing better than needing to undress from the knees up just to have a dump!".

They weren't practical for anyone aside from the engineers.
