Kaidan. Fuck that little bastard. His character was bland, and he was useless in battle. For some reason I couldn't stand his voice either even though it was perfectly fine as Carth. Also, I didn't like the imagery of him doing the horizontal monster mash with my female character.
Kaiden. Hated to do it, but the brother was in constant pain from his biotic amps while Ashley had no such handicap. Plus I used Ashley more as I almost always play as a Vanguard. Did save Wrex though, so Virmire wasn't all bad.
Ashley, I didn't ever get learn much about her aside from the fact that she apparently hated aliens. While Kaidan was practically my gay lover (Which Mass Effect seemed to have a thing against so it's been alien chicks for me)...
Saved Kaidan, killed Ashley. Boiled down to [IC] tactics for me, and by all accounts Kaidan was the more valuable of the two. Higher rank meant at the very least he'd had more experience, if it didn't flat out indicate he was a more qualified soldier. Biotics also had a part in the decision, as while anyone could potentially use a gun, Biotics had an added edge. And while I know this didn't play any real gameplay role, IC I saw a tower rescue as being more likely to succeed than going down into a pit where enemy forces were swarming, and keeping someone with the bomb to the end under those conditions acted as an added guarantee that nothing could happen to disarm it or quick-transport it away. (Again: I knew going in that those things didn't matter as far as the game was concerned, I just couldn't rationalize the character not taking those details into account). I didn't really have anything against Ashley, but when push came to shove I had to delegate her as a lower priority target.
No i let ashley die thar little ***** , and ill tell you why . I didn't like mass effect , i couldn't get into the story and i didn't care about sheperd or her ( yes im a dude and had a female shperd ) crew . But there was this one character that i didnt hate , his name was wrex . But guess what ... Asheley killed wrex! The one think that i liked about the game got killed for no fucking reason . An eye for and eye so i let asheley get blown to peices THEN i proceeded to have my female sheperd have sex with kaidan right after to put insult to injury!
Kaiden, died a hero's death, i liked both characters, but i dont do alien chick, plus i got a friend called ashley williams, if i ever meet video game characters named after girls i know and i get a chance to plow 'em (bow chika bow wow)i take that chance 10 times out of 10 for the lolz, same as in fable 2 when i met cathy the whore 
Must...Not...Debate....About... Ashley...
Anywho:
Kaidan is always the one who dies on Virmire for me. Not out of any actual hostility to the character, I think he's an alright sort of person. But the fact remains that Ashley is and has always been my favorite female character in Mass Effect and always my preferred love interest in every playthrough I've ever done. 'Cause she's great.
Hence, with that in mind, I had no choice here but to spare Ashley and leave Kaidan. It hurt but I couldn't lose Ashley, that's just how it is.

I've played through the game about four times, and it's three deaths for Kaiden and one for Ashley.
Why? Kaiden was Carth (Knights of the Old Republic), and he acted pretty much the same as him--which annoyed me. I didn't hate the character, and he better than Ashley, but the way he talked just annoyed me.
I let Ashley die for that one time because had that whole super-patriotic act, and I hated that. The way she fought was pretty useless (especially with Grunt and Garrus in the picture), so I felt nothing when I let her die. But that just left an even whinier Kaiden, so it didn't make sense to kill her more than once.

Ashley. I am sorry, but dear God she annoys me. She can be a right ***** at times. I don't do well with aggressive females.
Kaiden is always nice to you and others. So it was a no-brainer for me. No way would I sacrifice Kaiden. He is too cute, and I would have to put up with Ashley.

Both. Yes, that's right. I have more than one character, but I usually end up giving up the love interest of my Shepard, so Sheploo is left with Kaidan while FemShep has Ashley.
