The Borg were cool, but they were a two-note hit ("you will be assimilated" and "I was once individual and therfore have conflicted feelings about assimilation when you get down to it"). The Ferengi have better long-term personality. But as there has been no movie to feature them, the Borg are still the cooler space-Terminators of the ST multiverse.
Since the new reboot dismisses all previous continuity under the pretense of an "alternate timeline", I feel they should have Ferengi, Borg, or any post-TOS species in the mix. My only "demand" is that they bring back Klingons to their black turtle-necked, gold-vested, short-haired, smooth-headed, Cold-War allegory-roots! But I have a strong feeling JJ won't quite deliver that kind of "retro" throwback to any Trek sequel he works on...
