I don't know about you, but I always found the Daleks to be more menacing than the Borg - I can't really explain it, gut feeling I guess (even through a stariway might stump a Dalek). I suppose the threat of extermination is worse than the threat of assimilation.

The borg were somewhat frightening when they were first introduced, but the name still makes me think of tennis. I'd have to say the scariest villians of all time were the cylons on Battlestar Galactica. It was that creepy noise they made. But talk about bad sripts and even worse acting! No amount of cool FX could make up for that.
