Dang, that was a hard choice. I narrowed it down by deciding there's a difference between a spaceship, and a spacefighter. So I ruled out the X-wing and the TIE, though I dearly appreciate both, and went with craft capable of carrying more than one (or even two) crew and/or passengers. But really, we've hit a definite Top 10 here.
My choices:
The USS Enterprise NCC-1701, "no bloody A, B, C, D, or E."
The Millennium Falcon, because what boy didn't dream about flying this ship with a Wookie at his side?!
The Imperial Stardestroyer (most iconic entrance of a spacecraft ever on the big screen).
The Klingon D7, a design ahead of its time.
And the Serenity, for sentiment. "You can't take the sky from me…"

Hmm. I crossed out all classes, and picked only individual named ships, whose crew and history I knew. I notice that even though the poll seems to have been video only, the descendants of The Rolling Stone and The Profitable Venture--Heinlein and James H. Schmitz respectively--are doing well. Serenity and the Millennium Falcon both fall into that same category of smallish, lightly-armed civilian vessels with a mixed cargo of dangerous and contraband merchandise and passengers who haven't told you the whole truth. From a story-telling standpoint, there's a lot to be said for such vessels.
