I honestly, liked the Heavy Escort - not the greatest turn rate, sure, but nothing an RCS console can't fix easily, as well as better engines. Make sure to upgrade those two things and you'll find enjoying your time in one much more. :)
Actually that won't help as the escort is the one I like but I have a problem with the shields, I plan to go back to the escort after I can afford some shields.
Its the cruiser that is too slow it feels like I am stuck in second gear but I get to fire off four beam weapons when I use fire at will so it looks pretty.
Cruisers are meant to be the tanks of STO, meaning that the same shields will have a better ratin on a cruiser than an escort (considering that escorts are combat ships, I don't see how that makes sense, but that's me...).
Right now, shields strength are as follows: science > cruisers > escorts
Get the paratrinic shields mk IV when you can loot those blue shields - lasted me until I got some covariant shields Mk VIII that had 400 less shield strength but twice the regen. :X
