Star Trek universe has the advantage that they can heavily control where they go with their Warp Drives and Transwarp capability (if you get into the Borg). The only downside of the tech is the amount of time that passes between Point A and Point B. They tend to indicate it would take a year to cover 1000 or so lightyears, yet we see starships going even further with less of a timeskip.

Star Wars can between 2 points, but they have limitations between Hyperspace routes/lanes. Whether it is faster or slower than the Trek universe, I don't know.

Battlestar Galactica, you could jump a long distance, but we have no knowledge of time that passes or how far each jump goes.

Warhammer universe, time and distance are fluid. Sometimes going from Point A to Point B can take a long time, yet go faster if You Go Point A to C to D to F to B. Ofc, who is to say if end up ahead of schedule or months or years after you planned to. For all you know, you leave today, and arrive at Point B 2 months in the past, but head for Point C and it takes you a month from your perspective but 10 years in real space.

On top of that, while Warhammer universe has many of the largest known ships and maybe some of the more powerful weapons, I'd contest the reliability of that tech. (Though Star Trek universe is well known for work stations exploding at the drop of a hat)
