"Better"? The SR-2. More reasonable 'science', neater crew, looks better.

Stronger? The Defiant. Remember, in Trek, the ships have power as the plot demands, and thus they can use a combination of "science" and high power weapons to blow up planets, star systems, reality, time itself, etc. Also has more multifunction cloak, magic Trek sensors, torpedoes that go FTL themselves...

I love DS9 and all, but give me the SR-2 in all it's limited glory any day.
