I never much cared much for ferengi, jem'hadar or the founders as far as alien races go. Ferenghis were too much in the comic relief role, which is okay for a character, but repetitive and redundant if characteristic of a whole race. Jem'hadar and founders as I remeber were too one dimensional, too focused on one aspect of the characterization.
I think Romulus were a missed opportunity. There were potential for Romulans to be characterized and developed out along the seutonius 12 Caesars line. Which would beat Worf and his various familial involvements in the Klingon empire. But romulans remain more or less flat throughout.
