Holt as Sisko and Terry as Worf is cool (Holt might work better as Odo, but we’ll get to that in a sec).
Rosa should be Kira (Worf looks mean but is a big softy, hence Terry. Kira is the one that will kick your ass if you piss her off), Jina as Quark (obviously), Amy as Odo, Boyle as Rom, Hitchcock and Scully as O’brian and Bashir in their “two buds going to the holosuite to pretend they’re WW1 pilots” mode.
Jake works surprisingly well as Jadzia - both like to do silly things, kinda offbeat yet very good at their job.
I see where you’re coming from but I feel bad for O’Brien and Bashir getting done like that lol. But their inept best buddy dynamic doesn’t really fit anywhere on the ds9 crew neatly so it had to go somewhere
Yeah, I think not only their inept dynamic doesn’t fit anywhere in DS9, it’s actually anathema for the core values of Star Trek. Trek is all about what humanity can do when people do their best. The closest to being “inept” in ST are:
Characters like Rom or Berkeley, who at first have an inept aura, but ARE good at their job if put in the right situation.
Quark, who’s kinda bad at being a Ferengi, but that’s because he lets his (by human standards) morals get in the way. Also, the Ferengi were created as a species to be an anathema for other core values of Star Trek begin with.
The Pakleds, who are kinda like the Ferengi were at first, and were a one-off species then used for comedic purposes.
I know that wasn’t the point, but:

I’ve put way too much thought into it, haven’t i?
You took this thinking a lot further than I.
I couldn’t hear myself think because my brain was shouting at me about Rosa not being Kira.
