I only watched a handful of DS9 episides, but now that they're on Netflix I'm working my way through TNG in anticipation of watching the whole DS9 series.
Ideally, a new Star Trek would keep the basic premise of exploration and science, and dial back the Utopian vision of Rodenberry's to DS9 levels to allow for more rounded characters and interesting storylines.

DS9 is a bit slow for the first two years, not saying its not good but its a bit slow. They really did a lot of character develop and introduction. It slowly starts picking up in Season 3 when the Founders and the Dominion come into play. I will say that the occasional Mirror episodes in the first 3 years were excellent.
Season 4 was quite good, they had a great episode called Little Green Men that's must see.
Season 5 was really strong, I think that pretty much every episode was really good
Season 6 was like a roller coaster ride.
Season 7 was really good to me and had some really strong episodes, it also had some really heart felt episodes like Take me out to the Ball Game and The Seige of AR-855. Honestly the weakest moment over the last 5 years was about the final 10 minutes of the last episode.
