Personally I like my O-class SMS Hindenburg, the Bismarck guns pack a punch and are reasonably accurate, plus you can add several torpedoes to either side.

The B65 is...interesting. You start off with three triple 12" guns, with a ways to go until you get the 16" Nagato guns. It's pretty fast, even if you buff the armor like I did. The downside is the accuracy (or lack thereof) of the guns of the Japanese tree.

The Iron Duke is fun. It slower that a QE, but makes up for it with a fifth turret. The midship turret moves in concert with the aft ones.

The Arkhangelsk is probably my second favorite behind the O class. You have options from the Russian 14" triple turrets, the British 15" family, or even the German 15" Bismarck guns. Not that great on the speed, but meh, I like it.
