I think one show covers all the cases (if you take Lower Decks then all the good stuff has already happened and you’re living in the golden age of the Federation).
I personally would toss in Stargate Atlantis there too, just to have a selection of futuristic environments.
Easy:
Star Trek: The Next Generation
Star Trek: Deep Space 9
and
Star Trek: Voyager
I am willing to swap Voyager for Lower Decks.
Damn, came to post this. There’s very few universes where the average person has a good time at scale and not just “on the home world”.
