For Arcade:

Best Siege: Ridgebreaker

Best Tank: Nyx (Though it's overpowered on the main game, Nyx is quite useless in arcade. Ridgebreaker has 2nd best tank and is great for siege, much better option for arcade).

Highest Health: Tank and health are the same thing.

Highest Shield: Nyx (Apocalypse more useful, 2nd highest shields.)

Best Looking: Depends on you, I personally love the Nemesis. Some other popular ships for looks would be Ridgebreaker, Revelation, and the Zeus.

Best Ship for Destroying Starbases: That's the definition of siege.

Best Ship for Defending a Base: Probably either Ridgebreaker or Nemesis. (Just added this in as extra, I know you didn't ask this last one.
