The Varanus sci ship is pretty much the same as the Federation Deep Space Science Vessel, plus the extra toy. Kinda bland.
The Vandal Destroyer on the other hand is awesome, not so much for the ship itself, but the Plasmonic Leech console is probably the single best console in the game.
The Kar'fi gives you a very different carrier thats unlike anything available Fed-side and allows a more directly-agressive build than the Vo'quv, plus new pet options.
Lastly, there's the Guramba Destroyer, which has the same base stats and boff layout as the Patrol Escort, but KDF side, plus the extra options the Siege Mode allows.
I have the Karfi and like it a lot. If you are also considering a fleet ship then the Fleet Torkaht is also a good choice but maybe not if you want something for all 3 characters.
I strongly recommend the Kar'Fi. Personally I use it on my KDF Sci and I wouldn't change it for anything else. That is, unless Fleet Kar'Fi will be added someday.
People are already crying that Vesta is OP, but quite frankly Kar'Fi eats it for breakfast, even without sensor analysis. Escort weapon layout, ability to mount dual cannons, two hangar bays with truly awesome Fer'Jai Frigates and quite decent boff layout.
It's not very durable, especially with only lt.eng boff, but for PvE purposes it's one of the best choices you can make atm. Really fun ship.

having a Kar'fi - i personally do not like it (a sci ship)
having a Fleet Scourge (the one with 2 sci slots) - I LOVE IT
never cared about Bortas
now looking towards Gurumba
Boxed ships - D'Kora really rocks (have it on my KDF engi)
Sci Wells on fed side is not bad, but does the KDF equivalent have cloak? If so and you have a sci char - go for it
I'd pick up a Vandal Destroyer specifically for the Plasmonic Leech console. It's also a solid ship for leveling around that range.
The Fleet Scourge, Fleet Tor'kaht, & Fleet Hos'sus are the only ships I'd buy from the Fleet.

Rrezeth, Gorn Tactical, primary alt
Nari, Orion Science, secondary alt
Fleet Scourge is a the best DPS ship for kdf.
Run away from the bortasq.
I will keep the others in mind Thanks all
