Apologies for starting over. The original poll was just too flawed, resulting in too much "other" noise. Again, please don't vote "Other" to ask for KDF or Rom ships. This poll is strictly Federation voting. We need to do separate polls for KDF and Rom.
Running tally of write-in votes (first named vote if multiple were given):
Excalibur : 5
Nebula: 6
Miranda: 3
Atrox: 1
Luna: 2

Heh. I suppose I can respect that. I have a couple KDF toons and certainly enjoy them. Don't suppose you wanna put up a KDF poll? Or am I gonna have to do it later?
Excalibur: it is quite simply the most beautiful ship I've seen since the Sovereign (again, I did not mention my least favorite Enterprise, the Constitution, here, I said Excalibur class)
Sovereign: my favorite Enterprise, but it's also pretty much gaurunteed to get released soon, so I voted other for the less likely ships that I want
Miranda: awesome ship, and was still heavily used during the dominion war ... hopefully a T6 version would come with a reskin of the more modern version without the ugly secondary hull
NX: second favorite Enterprise. How would I be able to stand up to modern ships in an NX you ask? Well, the answer is "cause I've got faith, of the heart ..." Yes I know the NX is the last ship that would ever get an endgame refit of any kind, and I'm OK with settling for the Akira, but it doesn't change the fact that I would purchase a T6 NX class in an instant. My wallet would break the sound barrier on its way out of my pocket, same with the Excalibur.
Who knows, when we get the JJ-verse stuff, you might be able to use the Excalibur skin.

One problem with including the 3 factions together is, IIRC, there is a limit to the number of possible answers, so it'll have to be a seperate thread to get likely answers in.
It isn't like the OP making a poll would actually influence the Devs in what ship to release anyways, it's really a matter of curiosity. The decision of which ship to release next is, I'm sure, already decided, and based on metrics of which ships are already in use at the lower levels. Not some poll.
Oh, and Patrol Escort. I just recently pulled my T5 PE out for an alt, and it's a BLAST. Literally.
1) Sovereign and Vor'cha (maybe something for roms)
2) Ambassador and Kamarag (maybe something for roms)
3) star cruiser / whale ship and K't'inga (maybe something for roms)

Since the "Science Vessels" are commonly nicknamed and classified as "Light Cruisers", applying the "can mount DHCs at a slight cost of hull" conversion = "Light Battlecruiser".
And "Battlecruisers" are the province of the KDF.
So, a "Vesta refit" would also be quite... appropriate for a KDF and RR "conversion" of "remove a touch more hull and give cloak"...
So there you go - Vesta for T6, with "new" KDF and RR variant(s) to fill the "holes" in their Science ship lineup over the Dyson with it's transformational gimmick and reliance on protonic polaron weaponry...

As nice as that would be (and it would be), you forgot a critical step for making ships. The design part. The real reason behind the cost of the ships. (Stats take maybe a day, designing takes weeks I'm guessing, maybe more.)

Though if they did a Heavy Cruiser I could use the Constellation parts on it and that alone would please the TRIBBLE out of me. I do love my Rhode Island though too. This is so hard.

But of the ones actually listed on the poll, probably the Vesta. Just on base hulls, you have 8 T6 options for Cruiser, 6 for Escorts and 3 for Science. Including all the different variations and fleet versions it comes out to 17 Cruisers, 14 Escorts, and... 6 Science options.
T6 Nova, because I like the aesthetics. It's such a cute ship.

They've been designing new variants for each of these retro-re-refits (or whatever they're up to) anyway - Andromeda, Pathfinder, Venture, Yamato just to name a handful - so what's stopping them "designing" a whole new concept rather than "kitbashing" existing designs into a "25th century" look?

I dunno, like 90% of the Federation T5+ lineup consists of variations of the Defiant, Galaxy, Intrepid or Sovereign, it doesn't seem like the design process is all that intensive.
Voting "other" because: Nebula.
