I know it's a real tosser thing to do, but I'm going to do it anyway.
It's the Enterprise-E.

I love the arguments between you to. Anyway, we probably will never tell, although I think it's the Endeavour. Where did we hear the Lexington was at the FC battle? Radio chatter? (I think I see a registry on the Nebula. Very faint...)

Because they probably didn't bother to remove or fully change the labeling since the last Nebula appearance, which was in "Generations" as the Farragut.
And it could go either way as to being the Lexington or the Endeavour. We see no other Nebula and these two names we know to be Nebulas.

The Generations-Farragut was a physical model. Isn't this Nebula from First Contact a CGI model?

At that angle, there's no certain way to tell if it's the physical or CGI model, but looking at the shape of the secondary hull around the main deflector, I'd say it was the physical model.

Going strictly from the stories and not the actual model labeling and such, I think (repeat I think) that Nebula is supposed to be the Lexington. If I remember correctly (read: I ain't too sure), the Endeavour was supposed to be a ship of a new class that was eventually dropped. The Endeavour was also supposed to be Admiral Hayes' flagship, and it was destroyed prior to the arrival of the Enterprise-E.
I couldn't find anything online to back that up because my searches came back with thousands of hits. ::shrug:: I think that's how it was supposed to go down. I'm sure someone will dogpile me here if I'm wrong.

I don't think they'd even "built" the CGI Nebula model at this stage. Remember the lack of Nebula's in DS9's early CGI battle sequences? IIRC, the first appearence of the CGI Nebula was in "Duet", which first appeared over a year after First Contact.
If they'd had CGI Nebula's before then, they'd have used them in SofA. Thinking about it, it's possible that they started making the CGI model with the aim of getting it finished for SofA, but failed. It would explain why it appeared a short while later.
