Seems like there are a lot of votes for an Alaska class CB.

Re: 1 Aug, 2010 Dragon Models New kit survey
Rob,
I know you can't give specifics, but since Dragon has done the very similar Gearing, is a Sumner a possibility? In looking at the parts in the Gearing kit, it looks like segments of Sprue A, B and C would need to be replaced for a Sumner, but the other sprues would stay the same. The Sumner was much more widely used in WWII also, meaning I think it would have a broad appeal.

Re: 1 Aug, 2010 Dragon Models New kit survey
My votes:
#1 - USS New Mexico/Idaho/Mississippi-class BB (my dad served on the Idaho).
#2 - USS Ward-class destroyer - perhaps with a Japanese mini-sub.
#3 - perhaps an assortment of sizes of WWII PT boats.
#4 - any of the Pearl Harbor-attack cage-mast U S BBs.
Thanks for asking...

Andrew, if you can't narrow it down to five, I can't count your vote.
