Yeah, by the time Next Generation rolled around, Communications got folded into Tactical, so it was always Worf saying "Hailing frequencies open."
But, if I had to choose a communications officer, I would have gone with Ensign Hoshi Sato from "Enterprise." As established in the "Enterprise" pilot, she got the gig on the starship because she just happens to be the world's best linguist. All she has to do is hear about 5 sentences of a language, and she's got the jist of it. And, in the time of "Enterprise," the Universal Translator is still an experimental technology, so they wanted a linguist for when the UT failed.
But it never failed that much....
Anyway, I think I made my point, and without succumbing to a "Besides, Hoshi is WAY hotter than Uhura" arguement.
And she is, by the way.
