Which ship if you were captain?

Oberth. That way I'd get the mundane assignments and be relatively safe.
Of course, the few times we've seen the Oberth class has involved catastrophic failure in one way or another, so at least I'll go out with a bang.

Either Excelsior- or Defiant-class.

I'll take the USS Boundless.
Galaxy class definitely, best at everything. Next would be the Nebula, Excelsior, Ambassador, Sovereign, Intrepid, Akira. Last would be Defiant, worst at everything.
Since I have a science / research background in RL, I would choose a Nova Class and go on specialist research missions preferably stellar cartography and exogeology. I'd take a good medical team too, given you never know what sort of critters and microbes are out there on uncharted, far-flung worlds.
I guess it might balance out if the front end is just as heavy as the back end, maybe.
The U.S.S. Reliant, pre-refit, with cylindrical warp nacelles.

They're as about as far back as on the Excelsior. Besides, when do you put ships on a balance beam?
I may have been the only to make this vote but...Nebula-class. I love the look of the ship. Seems like an edgier Galaxy-class.
From 'canon' Trek, circa the 24th century, the Galaxy class. No question. Looks a truly magnificent vessel to voyage space in, as (re)watching TNG series 3 is currently reminding me.
If not the Galaxy, whatever class of vessel succeeds it.
No, not the ugly, grim warship type in First Contact, but a real exploration starship.

I think from Star Trek online the Odyssey class is the true replacement for the Galaxy, although not strictly "canon" it's an interesting design. I can't remember where I read it but I'm sure the Sovereign was meant to be the replacement for the Excelsior class.

The Galaxy class, with its varied sensor arrays, comfortable quarters, and beautiful design, is the ultimate starship of scientific exploration for me.
It's a close call, though, because I prefer the Constitution class bridge layout. Its hub-and-spoke design seems better for communicating information to the captain, especially from the science station.
