For me, I'm going to have to pick the Odyssey. Great mix of professionalism (clean lines and so forth) and practicality (has actual pockets, looks easy to move around in, colors subdued enough not to be a good target).

Though I do love the Odyssey ones. Not so much with the white shoulders for the Captain (I really shouldn't, but it's the uniform code so my Captains have to have it). Where are the pockets? Can't say I've noticed them.
A Romulan Strike Team, Missing Farmers and an ancient base on a Klingon Border world. But what connects them? Find out in my First Foundary mission: 'The Jeroan Farmer Escapade'
All Odyssey uniforms are a nice combination of Trek jumpsuit styling and an actual uniform, and the Tactical outfits look rugged and super practical. I'd definitely wear those in the field--and given that that entails kneeling and scrambling over rocks while wearing a floppy hat (mandatory for the profession, according to my professors), that's a compliment.
For similar reasons, I like the Jupiter line of uniforms in STO, particularly Jupiter III, which bears a strong resemblance to the WoK uniform. A version of that but done up with division colors is nice.
I love the WoK too, followed by the last few TNG movies.

My forum single-issue of rage: Make the Proton Experimental Weapon go for subsystem targetting!
That said, when I first saw the First Contact uniforms, I thought they were awesome.
In game, I like the Odyssey variants, but just can't find a colour scheme that I really enjoy.
TWoK uniforms do hit a sweet spot... they look like professional military uniforms.
First Contact-era uniforms (the ones worn in the TNG films and DS9) are also good... love that officer's vest Picard & Sisko wore!
Also, the dress uniforms from Into Darkness are pretty snazzy, IMO.
First Contact; Odyssey; Next Generation; TOS (that order).
Not such a fan of the TWoK; Starfleet isn't a military or a navy, so I don't think that the oufits should lean too far in that direction.
After reading some of the posts, I agree that the "Into Darkness" grey "Dress" uniforms come a strong second.
Personally, though, the Wells class 29th Century uniform is the classiest non-dress uniform.
STO version... Odyssey....Specifically in this order, Dress, Tactical, Duty, Captain... I agree with other posters in that the white shoulders grates on me a bit.
Yeah, that sounds like a good look...I generally prefer the TNG combadge because nostalgia, but the uniform itself is damn good.
On the KDF side, I LOVE the Bort uniform. Command officers get a super-cool Honor Guard outfit or battle armor, of course, but the Bort is sharp and professional.
The Honor Guard outfit is an excellent way to make a slim or petite character look more lethal, and to give them some artificial heft; on large or bulky characters, however, it can make 'em look fat.
Movie wise, gotta love the WOK uniform, very formal and professional looking, the TNG movie and dominion war era uniform is a close 2nd place.
TV wise, I've gotta say the Enterprise uniform, very function over form and I liked the whole flight suit look to it overall

A very special place goes to the TOS - The Cage uniforms. I really like the inclusion of field jackets and some away team gear like techno-backpacks, communication devices and such. It's a shame those never made a return.
In-game the Oddyssey and variants look actually very good and the academy uniforms make for a nice "enlisted" look like we see in TWoK and beyond. My headcanon uniform is: AGT tunics for officers and academy for crew, Oddyssey as an optional, more protective field jacket worn above the others

I am not a fan of Klingon uniforms from The Slow-Motion Picture on, though, mostly due to the absurd longevity of it: from TMP straight through to the 25th century Klingons are still wearing the same basic outfits even though that covers something like a hundred and twenty years or so worth of history; the equivalent would be if German military uniforms still looked like their Prussian antecedents.
Which would admittedly actually be kinda' cool. I miss the Pickelhelm.
This is one reason why I like the Bortasqu' uniform update; I just wish that it would be standardized across the KDF the way Odyssey is standardized across Starfleet.
Ooh! And I like the Romulan Republic uniforms, though not their inclusion of Starfleet division colors. They're very snazzy otherwise, though.

Odyssey uniforms in STO, because they are quite similar to the ones mentioned above.
Cardassian uniforms when it comes to aliens :cool:
For females, other Seven of Nine uniform or Mirror Universe uniforms
SUPPORTING PLAYABLE CARDASSIAN AND DOMINION FACTIONS!
For canon, I gotta go with the "monster maroons" of WoK etc. (Honorable mention to Cryptic's Jupiter set, which was very much cut from the same pattern.) The DS9/TNG movie uniform was good too.
I have a sentimental fondness for the TOS uniforms, but let's face it - they were never about practicality as much as selling color TVs.
Silliest/most unfortunate? Hard to pick between the TMP footie pajamas and TNG Romulan oven mitts. And dishonorable mention for the short-sleeve female uniforms of the reboot, which do not have any rank stripes/insignia.
I like the Odyssey uniforms okay, particularly the shiny shoes, but I'm not doing the white shoulders (bullseye) of command. There's enough Klingons and other aliens who'd probably like to whack a Starfleet Captain and I've pissed off plenty of them.
I wish we could get some of the ST6 Klingon uniforms in game. That'd be a nice addition.
Canon: First Contact, Enterprise, WoK
Before we got the Odyssey, I preferred the Sierra 1 uniforms because I felt they were the closest to the design style from the 24th Century and was a decent evolution of the style. Most of my Feds use that as their primary uniform.
For Canon uniforms, I really liked the First Contact style. 22nd Century Enterprise uniforms were functional and HAD POCKETS! WoK uniforms were much better than the TMP pajamas.
Cant stand the TWoK uniform, but that is my own taste.
The Odyssey uniform is very nice, but for a bit to clean and navy office sided for ship operations. (does no one get dirty?)
I am still waiting for my Skant..
Go to your Fleet Starbase Tailor (not the ESD Tailor) and buy the Odyssey Uniform variants.
The one you are looking for is the Odyssey .. ahm Excavation? Extraction? Exorcism? something like this - variant.
