chronologically! def tng -> ds9
worf/obrien start on the enterprise if i recall correctly.
-
I was nerd enough to make an table with all episodes of tng, ds9 and voy and ordered it by release date. They overlap with a short period of only DS9. Watching this order makes you realize some story lines containing two or even three series.
-
The full list is too long for a comment, so here is just where things start/end overlapping

Depending on how you like TV you might like the episodic way DS9 is done vs the 'monster of the week' that is TNG
-
As a stranger on the internet, I would be remiss if I didn't correct you: DS9 is famously the least episodic classic Trek series. The word you should've used to describe it is "continuous."
-
TNG follows the Greek Morality Play structure of ToS, hence "monster of the week".
Nighttime TV didn't really take to serialization heavily until the 90's. You can see it starting with later TNG.

And Voyager sets off from Deep Space 9

Any of them is a good choice. I'm in season 6 of DS9 watching it for the first time. I had watched TNG in the 90s in parts, then completely the full series in about 2000.
I've also watched all of Voyager and now almost all of TOS. And after finishing DS9 I hope to watch Enterprise and I've also watched most of the latest series with Picard, Discovery, Strange New Worlds and even Lower Decks. I think I also have to squeeze in and watch the Animated Series in there somewhere.
After seeing so much and due to my aging brain ... I don't quite remember everything. So after I've finished saying I've watched all of this, I plan on rewatching the same series all over again in the future.
I think I'll be spending the rest of my life just rewatching all these shows over and over again until someone just transfers me over into a transport buffer.

Spoiler alert:
youwe are already there...:-P

DS9 stan here.

I had watched DS9 episodes when I came across them over the years. Usually good, but didn't have the itch to commit to 173 episodes back-to-back. Finally binged the whole thing about 3 years ago, and good lord it's every bit as relevant today as it was 25+ years ago.

I have a giant playlist with every trek episode and just put it on random.
Let the universe choose.

If you use Plex, Smart Collections are perfect for this.

Long time Plex user here, thanks for the tip! I get overwhelmed by the available choices and a full rewatch takes so long. Definitely setting this up

Obviously, you hang in the castle for a bit so you can go over to the ion storm later with a full understanding of context.

First thing I'd do if I won the lottery, man? Two shows at the same time.
