In terms of my most used, and essentially powerful ships, my list goes like this:
Sovereign
Phalanx
Remore
Defiant
Excelsior
Avalon
I'm not trying to nit pick here, but you clearly left me with that opinion. I can agree Raven, however I do think the Sovereign although very good is still quite an expensive ship. Where as I simply love the Defiant.
Rhaz, why I agree that the Excel II is the best out of that yard, I don't understand what you mean about the Defiant.
What I mean about the Defiant is that it is silly to firstly demand ships adhere to canon in terms of weapons hardpoints (Front/Rear phaser?) and I think the Defiant is still an excellent ship since it fufills a totally different purpose than the Excelsior II (I was simply commenting on how in my opinion, the list that Captain Proton put out is a little sketchy, as the Defiant is superior for most purposes especially in a non-sp game to the Sovereign. It is faster, pulse based weapons are sort of neat, but most importantly if you're ever manuevering a large fleet and attacking the Defiant can 'clump' faster and in a better position thus allowing more ships to fire on the target than in a homogenous Soveriengn group). The Defiant is also extremely useful for attacking expansions. I will still stay the E-2 is the best, no problem there.
