If you need a lot of power for a long time, Nuke is the way to go, it's a bit dirty and there's a margin of error and not much of a way to fix a "flat" so to speak.
But you line that sucker up and put a shield between you and the loud part, you can go fast and longer than almost any other type of propulsion you can think of.
Of course you should only do that half of the way there - Silly thing like physics will want you to be spending the other half of your time slowing the beast down. to do that all you have to do is turn around.
Ever try to do a handbrake turn with a nuclear reaction going on in the trunk?

Long Haul Freighter
If you want to go a long distance you'll need a lot of support.
Nowhere more that space is the voyagers adage more true, "If you don't take it, you won't find it there."
Everyone thinks of water, food, radiation protection and general medical supplies. The thing most people forget is that people are a resource, you need them to fix, maintain, and problem solve. They put out heat and can even generate electricity in the right settings, put them to work on those long-haul rigs!
Space Yacht
Yachts are always the sexist, sleekest, and outright coolest things in space.
You'd like military to look this cool but you'll never get it when it's still built by the lowest bidder.
You know what else Yachts have? Speed.
This sweetheart is almost obscene the way it's built on a 6 port, Wagner bulwark-vented power-plant. If I didn't know better I'd think this was being set up to be a blockade runner, or at the very least a smugglers ship.
But no smuggler I know of can afford a bridge fitted with antique mahogany... Almost no smuggler I can think of anyway.
