I have been partial to the actual Space Shuttles myself. I know they are real...not sure if we were just going for fictional. I guess we would have to, eh? How many real space ships are there, anyway? Ok, ok, sorry! 
I think Event Horizon has to be my favorite fictional space ship. Ignore the fact that it went to hell and back, just the overall design catches my fancy.

see i never really liked the falcon, i always thought it would be really annoying to fly with the cockpit all the way over to one side.

Love to have a TARDIS (or even a SIDRAT for that matter. Choke on that reference, newbie Who-fans).
For straight up space ships with no time travel capability I have to choose the Cygnus from the movie The Black Hole. That ship just packed a whole bunch of wow.

I always rather liked the M Falcon's asymmetry. I wonder if it was influenced by this?:-

Capital ship: The Andromeda Ascendant. Beautiful, brilliant, and utterly, completely lethal. Just the way I like my ships and my women. She also comes with:
The Eureka Maru, my favourite civillian ship. Combination freighter, scavenger, salvage cutter, and really overqualified shuttle. That said, however, the movie version of the Jupiter 2 is one of the only things that redeemed that movie. Beautiful curves.
For starfighters, I love variety. X-Wings were my first love, but I will confess a certain fondness for Babylon-5's Starfuries. Though, on a purely practical level, Andromeda's Slipfighters are still at the head of the pack.
Of course, being a big mecha nut, I have to give special preferences to Veritechs (especially the streamlined Macross Plus or Macross 2 versions) and Gundams (from the Seed continuity). Not terribly practical for non snub-fighter operations, but still marvels of engineering and technology all the same. Gundams aren't just weapons --they're works of art.

Gotta go with the TARDIS in general. Andromeda Ascendant is up there too. The Carrier from the comic series The Authority was also pretty awesome and I'd love to live there.

It's has to be the Falcon. Don't really know why. There is just something about it. I also like the Slave I, but I think that is because I'm a big Boba Fett fan
Simon: What if he(Mal) tells you to kill me?
Zoe: (without hesitation) I kill you.

Have to go with Moya from Farscape, after all Moya and Pilot were always my favorite characters.
But a TARDIS sure would be nice to have, I mean it travels in space and time. Also the fact that you are basically completely safe inside it would be really nice.
