I really like the Nostromo from Alien (1979). The Icarus II from Sunshine (2007) is pretty cool, too.
Definitely the Enterprise-E absolutely perfect.

Honourable mention to the Roci though
The Yggdrasill from Hyperion.
The one from The Fountain was kinda similar. It was unique enough to stick with me over the years anyway.
I don't know if Ringworld really counts as a ship but I loved that too. The Out Of Band 2 from A Fire Upon The Deep seemed like it would be pretty baddass. Or the alien ship from Rendezvous with Rama.
Hard sci-fi: The Rocinante
Floppy sci-f: The A-Wing
Space Battleship Yamato, original model
Serenity. Just the nicest "home" you can keep flying.
Penny Royal, from Neal Asher's Technician and Dark Intelligence.
There's a lot of ships I like in sci-fi, but the one that comes to mind at the moment is the garfish-class cruiser in robotech
Or if we're talking about real spacecraft here, I like the soyuz (and really the whole r-7 derived rocket family to be honest), as I like the look of it's side boosters and the four engine bells on each engine
Certainly not the Event Horizon 😈
“I’ll take the Lewis and Clark to a safe distance, and then I will launch TAC missiles at the Event Horizon until I'm satisfied she's vaporized. Fuck this ship!”
The Slave I
Sorry I meant: Boba Fett's Ship 🙃
How the fuck could they not even give it a new name?! One of my favorites as well.
I'll pick the Bowie from Guardians of the Galaxy.
It's a fast ship that can flown solo, but also comfortably carry six people with their own quarters. It's fast, can cloak itself and defend itself from anything it can't outrun or hide from.
I don't want a big starship that needs a big crew to fly. But, I don't want a small ship that can't carry guests.
The Ebon Hawk
Rebel Blockade Runner, mostly because it's the first ship you really see in A New Hope and my first interaction with the Star Wars franchise as a kid in the early 90s.
Francisco Franco's PM, Luis Carrero Blanco's car turning him into a Good Fascist™ and Spain's first astronaut
I have real soft spots for the Ghost from Star Wars Rebels and the Normandy from Mass Effect.
For the Ghost though, I really love its strange shape, the WW2 bomber tail gun, and the attached shuttle. It's both so typically Star Wars and yet still new.
Discovery (2001) and Leonov (2010).
Or, from system shock 2, the Von Braun and the Rickenbacker.
... you know what, they're spaceships, so all of them.
The lexx of course it's the most powerful ship in both universes.
I always liked the Nostromo's design.
Despite the many, many problems with the show, I'd say The Lexx.
Swims Against the Current in a Stream Reflecting the Sun
Odyssee class!
The Phalanx
Since Roci is everywhere...
Do Gundam count? Aerial or Quiet Zero are pretty baller
It's "favorite," not "OP," so sure. I like the ST film Birds of Prey, just for sheer awesome aesthetic.
The Nomandy from Mass Effect
Lakon Spaceways Diamondback Explorer. Hands down. Like a little cicada with huge fucking engines hanging out of it. Cozy way to map the galaxy.
