the best starfighter was Scar, the Cylon Raider from the re-imagined series. It was a blood thirsty cylon who learned from each mission and each kill. Could resurrect, and hated humans as much as humans hated it. Plus it had a bad-ass name, and a great and bloody ending
The writers ability to give a machine personality and character was brilliant. It meant something for Kat or Starbuck to kill Scar, unlike the random killing and explosions of nameless tie fighters, for example.
Space Above and Beyond did something similar (but less effective, IMO) with Chiggy von Richthofen.

Babylon 5 doesn't get nearly enough of the cred it deserves nowadays.

The Defiant in Deep Space Nine for best Star Ship
I watched babylon 5 recently again and it holds up pretty good and is definately superior to DS9 which was dreadful pre dominion.

Best Starship
B) BattleStar Galactica (re-imaged) - I would have picked the Imperial Star Destroyer but the Galactica is exactly how a warship should be engineered for space combat. The bridge is located in the center of the ship with no vulnerable "windows."
Write In - SSV Normandy
Best Starfighter
C) X-wing
Best Villian
A) Darth Vader
Best Hero
A) Obi wan Kenobi - Edit... I'll add a vote to Macolm Reynolds as well (how is there no Firefly on this list?)
Best setting
B) The Deathstar
Best Battle
A) Death Star trench run
E) Pegasus and Galactica vs base stars (re-imagined series) - A tie between these two. The Pegasus jumping in to take on all 4 base stars is still one of the most epic things I've seen in a show.
Iconic moments
Write In - Adama getting shot by Boomer
Cool moment
A) The opening Star Destroyer pass through in ANH

Write-in: Earth Alliance Omega Class Destroyer (Babylon 5) - It is crude, simplistic and very Human. Plus the rotating section is really cool
Best Starfighter
h) Star Fury (Babylon 5) - Nasa actually approached the producer to use the concept as a space repair vehicle for orbit.
Best Villian
a) Darth Vader
Best Hero
Han Solo

Write-in Category "Best Alien Race"
Centauri from Babylon 5. The internal politics of the warring houses is very well done. Plenty of good characters wanting to do the right thing but can't due to intense corruption and generally crazy people.
