So to be good enough it needs lots of great space battles, great plots, something a little more edgy that "we're americans in space aint it great" by way of plots, and decent acting... does it live up to those that came before?

In my mind, yes. No shortage of great space battles I assure you, some very twisted, dark and edgy plots, some great turns and surprises, acting that I'd say is a cut above the rest for the most part. If you've watched all those other series then I'm honestly surprised you've managed to avoid BSG so far.
I took a bit of convincing to come to BSG, having been turned off by the pilot episode (I kind of managed to switch off just before it finally got interesting....) but realised a few episodes later that it had been a mistake to write that one off.
I'd strongly suggest you start watching at the beginning though; BSG is very much arced and you'll spoil yourself many twists and surprises if you jump in halfway through.
