I'm very partial to Serenity, but even that awesome design has two nacelles, and I can't deny where THAT idea came from.
So, It's Enterprise for me.

Your pick for the greatest space vehicle design in history

TARDIS!
So, that would be " The One You Left Out Of Your Poll, You Idiot"
Ha, you said it, not me! Of course, the advantage of the TARDIS is that instead of having to duke it out with other vessels to prove its superiority, it could just go back in time and prevent them from being built in the first place.
Sorry, I never thought of Tardis as a "space vehicle" as much as a , errr, a transporter that transported itself. But my knowledge of Dr. Who is obviously very limited.
The grand and beautiful Enterprise-D of course.

Ah, well I'm not sure how it's supposed to work, but it seems to be able to go pretty much anywhere in space or time. Whether you'd see it flying by on its way to another planet I don't know.
I voted for Moya. The concept of a living starship, while not really original, is really really cool. Plus, she has a very nice design.
Up until the Enterprise, most ships in science fiction were either flying saucers or rocket ships. The classic 1701 combined the best of both designs in a practical yet memorable configuration. Nearly every other Starfleet ship since has taken cues from the design, consistently looking more and more complex yet lacking the simple elegance of the original. The Enterprise-E looks garish in comparison.*
Excelsior.
If the Sovereign-class had more sensible-looking impulse propulsion, I'd probably have chosen it.

You really DO have no problems with young minds & fresh ideas, eh?
I've always liked the Eagles from Space: 1999
Enterprise-D. Partly out of childhood nostalgia - and partly because she looks so goddamned cool.
I really don't know why they dropped it in Gen due to it "not looking good on camera". It makes better use of horizantal and vertical space in the widescreen format than the E-E, in my opinion. I've got some resentment of the Ent-E dating back to my childhood... I can't help it :P.
