Moya. Hands down. I like the idea of a ship that loves you back.
But only if she doesn't smell. Somehow I always imagined her smelling vaguely reptilian.
In that case, Serenity. But only if Wash gets to drive and I can have Inara's shuttle and it has a bath in it...

Big considerations for me in cruising around the 'verse would be ease of use, crew size, and comfort (let's face it, goin from place to place in the black leaves a lot of time for sittin around and waiting).
The Lexx would be easiest to use and maintain, also pretty intimidating (what w/ destroying planets and all) but not too comfortable.
The Sol Bianca's pretty classy but notorious so folks would always be gunning for you.
Firefly has style and a homey feel but you'd need a skilled crew and lots of tlc.
The Falcon is very cool but not too comfy and about to fall apart any moment.
Any of the later mod. Enterprise (or Voyager even) would be the most comfortable but too big in crew req.
Runabouts and Eagle too small and spartan.
I'd take any of the above (oh ok, even the Heart of Gold for that matter) but final choice would probably be the Andromeda.
This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight...turbulence and then explode.

Always liked the USS Defiant, sort of the muscle car of Starfleet.
But one of the graceful looking ships of all of Sci-Fi was the Enterprise D- well the exterior anyways- the interior looked like a gorram Holiday Inn.
And I've always had a softspot for the Earthforce Destroyer from B5 with the spinning section- it looks cool and nasty.
So I'll take the Defiant ( with the optional holodeck sunroof and cupholders) with Serenity for weekend trips with the kids.
'Might have been on the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

ooo! I forgot about the Shadow vessels! Now that is a ship guaranteed to give you badass creds in the nieghborhood!
and the new BSG Vipers are pretty sweet too...
but Moya is so pretty...
Dang this is hard : )

Easy
Go-Anywhere-ness = The Master's Tardis (Chamelon system works!)
Super Bad-Ass-ness = X-Bomber from Star Fleet (Only the defiant comes close in this bruiser-cruiser category)
Totally efficient warship = Shadow vessels from Babylon 5 (Hey whats that jump point - what's that black spider thing - whats that pink plasma death ray? AAARRGGHH!!!!)
Semi-Organic/sentient ship = Three way tie - Vorlon cruiser, Tardis and Moya.
Best fighter = the 'front' two seater from Lego's 'Starship Explorer' Space Kit from the 80's - Fighter at the front, Science Lab at the back, with a docking cradle to join the two. the blacktrons never stood a chance, bless them.
Best ship with a one off weapon? = R-Type shuttle or X-Bomber (the mega blast in R-Type is equalled by the x impulse, but that's only my opinion)
The one I'd most like to drive? The USS Reliant - it's like Trek visiting to an italian tailors - definately the Alfa Romeo of the Star Trek universe

Of course, the Serenity is at the top of the list, but the Millenium Falcon would be pretty shiny too. Also up there would be Moya from Farscape. A living spaceship - how cool is that?

I've been in love with the Millenium Falcon since the first time I saw her.
I tried to steal her once, but Han shot me. (Picky bastard! I woulda brought her back!)

Event Horizon
Serenity
The fighter from Last Starfighter
Challenger (OV-099)
Columbia (OV-102)
Vipers from original BSG
That's all that comes to mind right now.

Lexx, definitely. Big, dumb, cute and full of surprises.
It would help if *I* had the key to it, though...:-)
The great advantage of Lexx is the fact, that he doesn't take too much caring after - you just let him eat and he does whatever you tell him to do. Very convenient for someone as inept with technology as me...:-)
