Where would you like to serve at?

This is in some way a fantasy game, so some known Star Trek rules may not apply. And don't take it too serious, it should be fun. I don't think it really belongs to the Gaming Forum though (Just in case feel free to move the thread).
Imagine you just completed the starfleet academy successfully and now you can chose on which ship or space station you serve at. Time doesn't matter, so you can jump on any ship/space station you want to. You have no idea about the upcoming adventures. For example you don't know that DS9 will be involved in a war against the Dominion or the Voyager will strand in the Delta Quadarant. But you have informations about the ships/space stations and the leading officers. It's up to you wheter to consider your favored scope...scientist, engineer, medic, pilot, weapon systems officer, diplomat counsel, barkeeper or what ever. The qestion is, where would you like to serve at?

So I choose DS9 for the following reasons.
Commander Sisko seems to be a very competent head and manager who knows how to deal with people. And I trust him.
I don't really like flying so I may get space-sick like Ezri Dax when I am on a ship all the time.
I see myself mainly as an explorer who want's to discover new worlds and species. So the plurality of species on DS9 is fascinating for me and I hope to overcome my space-sickness to join some flights to explore new planets...but it's good to know there is a home base you can always return to.
Last but not least, I'm having a crush on Major Kira
This said, my decision was not so easy.
The NCC-1701-D under Captain Picard seems to offer much comfort, a luxury steamer in space.
Also the NCC-1701 impressed me and it's captain Kirk, the way he passed this test with the conviction that there is no No-Win Scenaraio, no matter what happens. Plus the first officer Spock is obvioulsly a genius.
Captain Pike seems to have all qualities a captain needs, too.
Anyway, now it's your turn if you are up to it, tell me...where would you like to serve at and why? Every ship and space station that appeared in any Star Trek series or movie counts.
I would also have chosen Deep Space Nine. It was an interesting place already from the start.
Maybe as a security guy with Odo or Eddington or some computer specialist with O'Brien as the chief.

Sisko as captain would be great and I would also have Quark and Garak to chat with.

Kirk's Enterprise? I don't know. Interesting but not as interesting as deep Space Nine, Picards Enterprise and Voyager.

Picard's Enterprise? Maybe but Deep Space nine still looks more interesting from the start.

Voyager? Well, If I have knew about meeting Kes on the ship, then yes. But as it was, it was only about to be a three-weeks mission to find Tuvok and the Maquis ship and in that case, Deep Space Nine still looks more interesting.
 
Medical officer on DS9 or aboard one of the ships in the ninth fleet that was assigned to the station, like the Sutherland.

... Or maybe smuggling medical supplies to the Maquis on the Xhosa.
 
Deep Space Nine.

I'm most at home in a crowded meltingpot where I won't stand out too much. "Voyager" is my favorite series, but being stuck in that small community for seven years would give me a nervous breakdown.

I'd give everyone else a nervous breakdown. Especially since that "sit down there on Deck 15 and don't interact with anyone" spot seems to be taken.
