SNW is the best (new) Trek since DS9

Agreed. 
Which one did you like better?
Prodigy was fantastic. Lower Decks was a lot of fun.
Strange New Worlds is fine... but it's never gotten out of second gear. And I don't think it ever will.

Between SNW and DS9? The latter, quite clearly.
No. I meant the question posed by this thread/the OP: Which of the new Trek shows is the best since Deep Space Nice?
I like Strange New Worlds a lot, I count myself a huge fan of the show. I think at this point the only thing keeping SNW out of the top rank of Star Trek shows for me is that it doesn't really have any truly classic episodes of television. Like, it has some fantastic Star Trek episodes, that do Star Trek things really well. But it doesn't quite have a "Duet," a "The Visitor," a "City on the Edge of Forever" or a "Measure of a Man" (though it did try to do its own version of "Measure of a Man")--i.e. an episode that really demonstrates the extend of what is possible with science fiction storytelling on TV. I don't know if any of the streaming era Treks have done that yet.
But that is my subjective take, others may disagree--and if someone thinks I'm wrong, please point me to the episode(s) I may not have appreciated enough!

I'm not quite sure that was the OP's intent, but consider the source.
Anyway, the only show of the five CBSTrek shows that I really liked better than Berman Trek was Prodigy. Is it better than DS9? I don't think so. But it's definitely a good show.
