DS9 is by far my favourite Trek. Even though many people seem to think that Sisko was undeveloped, he became an incredibly complex character at the end (episodes like In The Pale Moonlight [Dancing With The Devil], Far Beyond The Stars (I still wonder which side sent the vision to him- it could have weakened him to the point of doing what he did in In the Pale Moonlight, but it also somewhat strengthened him), The Visitor (the best episode of Trek ever), and many others).
Almost all of DS9's characters were given a tremendous amount of character development- a refreshing change from TNG, where only Picard and Data were developed, TOS, where only McCoy, Spock, and Kirk were developed, and Voyager/ENT, where no characters were developed. The vast supporting cast included so many great characters- Garak, Dukat, Weyoun, Ross, Eddington (I loved his speach to Sisko about the Federation being worse than the Borg), Ziyal, and many others. Even considering all of his flaws, I loved Jake Sisko. He made The Visitor possible, demonstrated that not all humans join Starfleet (something that had annoyed me since TNG), and had a great arc.
I don't share the hate of the Ferengi that many others have. Certainly, many of their episodes weren't great, but some were very good. This post (http://www.exisle.net/mb/index.php?showtopic=15056&hl) expresses my feelings about them very well.
Favourite DS9 episodes:
The Visitor (Trek's all time best episode)
Sacrifice of the Angels
In The Pale Moonlight
The Wire
The Die is Cast/By Inferno's Light
The Seige of AR-####
My favourite Treks:
