DS9 has some nice battles, but Sisko is nothing more more than a Picard&Kirk wanna-be!
I agree on the VOY part but DS9 was the best since TOS in every friggin way possible.
- DS9; B5 style epic story but in a more... ST way.
- Characters:
-- Sisko; Sure as friggin' hell not a Picard wannabe. Did Picard ever puch Q in the face as easily as Picard did? Would Picard even consider poisoning the atmosphere of a planet to bring a criminal to justice and to get personal revenge? I can continue to rant on about this but meh... Ow, and he ain't no Kirk wannabe either... Else Dax would be in his bed more often then behind her science console

-- Garak: Most certainly the most intruiging character ever to be in ST.
-- Odo & Quark: Heh, well, what can I say

Those two were funny and yet served a MUCH bigger purpose to the story then comedy relief. Odo especially.

-- Kira: IMO one of the lesser characters but her background tends to get the ass-kicking ***** side of her on screen

-- Dax: Special character on her own. The way she portrait the Trill was excellent. I mean Jadzia. Ezri was... Less.
-- O'Brian: Well, ya can't go wrong with him
-- Bashir: Intruiging as well. His genetically altered body became quite an issue. Also, his adventures with Section 31 were cool
-- Worf: Heh, he was better then in TNG. Here he was an actual Klingon. Not some wussy human/klingon hybrid like in Picards prescence.
-- Martok: Heh, he was interesting. Showed a different side of the Klingons.
- Politics: Quite intruiging to see the political struggle before the war erupted. Klingons wanting blood, Romulans waiting for a chance to backstab someone, Cardassians quietly dealing with the Dominion, the Dominion probing the Federation and infiltrating the Klingon Empire. Hell, even the Breen were slightly involved in the political intruiges

.
- Battles: Some nice battles you say? Lemme name some: Dominion take DS9, Recapture of DS9, last battle against the Dominion where the Cardies turn on their allies. Sisko building a Defiant in the mirror-verse and beating the **** out of Worf's battleship with it

. Sisko going after the Maquis ships. The little skirmish in the Gamma quadrant where one of the bugs ram a galaxy class starship. The battle Vs the Breen...
Those are just a few points as to why I like DS9
