Not much difference over my list, the only difference is a flip flop of
CC/AF, and the inclusion of the ITP (which I haven't built yet, that and
perhaps a couple of the rafts are the only Pirate theme floating things
that I haven't built yet).

I don't have a SES yet, so it may flip-flop with the BSB, but I specifically
wanted the BSB more than the other, so it ranks number one at the moment.  I'm
sure a case could be made for either as the best ship depending on your tastes.
I liked the cannons on wheels and non-commital sails of the BSB as the deciding
factors.

BSB is definitely better, additionally, from a gaming perspective, it
tends to be cheaper, and on top of that, parts are often available for
it (amongst those is the sails - yea!).

I like the AF.  Yes, they skimped on parts.  One cannon and a measly three
minifigs is just too thin, but it's a bright cheery ship and at least it has a
center section.  I like that rear lateen sail (and why the heck do they mount
it backwards?!?).

Definitely. Also, it's collapsing mast is not quite as cheesy as the
RBR's.
