I vote Dwellers in the Crucible for Margaret Wander Bonanno for being both simultaneously boring (well to me when I was 14 or 15) and yet going taking an unusual approach and dealing alternate sexualities (via the Deltans) and a very obviously lesbian relationship between two of the hostages. And yes, one is a vulcan. (No on screen sex for them, but by the end of the book they were at least as dependent on one another as Kirk and Spock, if not moreso.)
If nothing else, it's stayed with me, along with Uhura's Song and most of the other titles above. When I purged my old Trek collection for space, I kept the Diane Duane novels, the Ford novels, and I think the Kagan. That's it.
Duane also convinced me all redshirts should be Horta, at which point the Redshirt Death Rate would suddenly drop through the floor.
