I agree that DS9 probably wins by far on its ability to hold off fleets during the Klingon and Dominion Wars.
However, I’m not sure I would dismiss Voyager so fast as a contender against the Enterprise D - I think Voyager is both well-armed and comparatively agile, with a higher maximum warp speed and likely a higher cruising speed. I think the ship’s unique strengths would at least give the D a significant struggle.
