What was your best platform? CVN, DDG, CG, AOE, or one I'm sure I didn't list. So far I got to stick with the small boys, I like the DDG.

It all depends on the crew. The crew creates the climate, and that climate leaves the lasting impression about that platform of ship.
For me, I served on an all male crew on a CG.... tight-knit crew... always lacked a proper budget... this ensured that everyone knew their jobs well...
We were supposed to decommission.... didn't... got a 5 month notice to deploy as an air defense commander for a carrier strike group in support of OIR.
It was a challenging tour... but, i'd put that crew/ship against anyone.
Smaller platforms (CG,DDG, MCM, PC, LCS) provide more learning opportunities than big decks (CVN, LHD, LHA) because you learn more about your rate and always have your hand helping out other rates...
