I've watched all the originals, probably all the ST:TNG, most of that damned Deep Space Nine, most of Voyager.
The originals were mostly moralistic westerns set in outer space (but I liked them for that reason). Next Generation was probably the best of the series. Most rational crew and better actors. I think Voyager was 2nd best. Good dramatics, and liked a female Captain and it set them outside the Federation universe. Enterprise sucked. Discovery sucked. Don't know anything about the others.
One of the more positive things about each of the series was the creation of a major unique character. The original had Spock, Next Generation had Data (not ignoring Worf and Guinan). Deep Space Nine had Odo. Voyager had Seven of Nine.
You probably can't go wrong with ST:TNG or Voyager. I would suggest avoiding Deep Space Nine unless you want to explore weird deity-development.
Never argue with people who type fast and have too much time on their hands...
