"the lost era" has commonly been desired setting throughout history, so the time over Ent B and C. Don't know if I have ever heard anyone particularly interested in the archer-kirk time period... it might be interesting I suppose.
I'd prefer lost era. Cardassian war at the tail end might be fun.
But best would still be new stories and new species from the time beyond. Society since the millenium has been steeped towards retreading existing lore and retelling stories from different angles. IMO this is especially tiresome for a theme like science fiction, which is supposed to be about telling new stories and using existing angles to show that even humans in ridiculous future settings have every day problems like the rest of us.
