I can think of only three, and in order of Importance

Garus: Funny, Badass, and lets face it, every space team needs the Lizard man backing them up, plus he is like the hand of god with his sniper (Remember the Bridge?)

Tali: William Shatner would be on her pretty quickly, and I think we all want to know what she and the rest of her species looks like

Legion:...he is a Geth, need I say more?

Garrus: If you are a male Shepard, then he is basically your partner in crime and do-goodery. A sidekick, only with more of a presence and a higher kill count than most. He is a necessity, an integral part of the story almost as much as Shepard is.

Legion: Because of the story of the first game, and how the Reavers choose the Geth as their minions, having Legion return is almost a necessity as well. He is an in to connecting to the Reavers, and I imagine that there would be a very emotional encounter with Legion when they confront the Reavers.

Tali: The female sidekick and the only Quarian to be included as a playable character. Thus far, at least. Both of those lead to an almost sure thing of her returning. Especially because we have yet to see what a Quarian actually looks like without their masks. If the first one we see isn't Tali, I'll be very surprised.

Mordin: The fan-favorite, and for good reason. He is an incredible character, one that never ceases to amaze and amuse. The perfect mad scientist character for the science fiction era, and one that has become very integral to the plot. He helped perfect the genophage. To defeat the Reavers, the Krogan will probably have to be brought back. Thus, Mordin will probably be around to reverse the effects. I'd be very surprised if he didn't show up again.

The Rachni Queen: I know she wasn't one of the choices, but you know that she will turn up again. Permitting, of course, you let her live in your original Mass Effect character save file. Yes, I believe that shit will carry over. Imagine that, huh? Honestly, you'll probably have some sort of choice between bringing back the Rachni or the Krogans. That's how I see it playing out, anyway.

And, my guilty pleasure, Thane: Thane was an incredible character. He had the most emotional depth, I felt, and he never ceased to impress. You really cared about him, and he was always useful in combat situations. Sadly, due to the fact that he was already dying in Mass Effect 2, it's unlikely that he will return. But I'll be very sad if he doesn't.

The rest are not very important to the plot at all. Miranda may return as some sort of reminder of the days with Cerberus, but I can't really picture any other characters making a return without some big plot twists. Of course, knowing BioWare, they'll probably manage to squeeze every character from both games in there somehow. And, honestly, I wouldn't be adverse to that.
Thane was an interesting Character, Perhaps his Son could take his place, or perhaps a side mission which could keep him alive until the end of the game (or he dies in the middle of the story)

Definitely Garrus, and hopefully Miranda too. Never liked Tali, she was a waste of space.

lol, like I said in that other Mass Effect thread, Tali and Garrus are always the top 2 voted in polls like these. I'd like all of them to return to ME3 personally.

Except Jacob, I don't hate him, but I don't really care about him either. I mean compared to pretty much everyone else, he's pretty boring. But if I had to choose one, it would have to be Tali. She was my fem shep's best friend. Garrus is a really really close second.

I want to say Garrus but Tali is my girl. I'm not sure about everyone else but I've used her in both games and I think she comes in handy probably more so than any other character, both in combat, exploration and cutscenes.

Miranda and Garrus. Miranda is my favourite character in ME2 and my Shepard's romantic interest, not to mention Shepard's right hand and one of the most important characters in ME2's story.

Garrus because why do krogans have four testicles? So they'd feel slightly less inferior to Garrus Vakarian.

Tali and Garrus, they were in your original crew so that makes them a tad bit more special than the rest of your new crew.

Garrus and Tali. Mordin is fun too, but the former two were my team throughout the series and I can't think of anyone taking their place.

Why have so many people picked Tali? I never really got into her character, honestly.

Really, the only thing to pick is Garrus, because he is incredibly awesome and some of his lines are amazing.

On the first time I played ME2, Garrus died on the suicide mission! I felt so empty inside for about an hour. Luckily, I discovered the joys of playing a second character.

Mordin is a close second, and I would like Legion and Thane to return as well.

Well there are a few I want back for sure.

Wrex: I went through a lot of trouble in ME1 to keep him alive, and I liked at least seeing him in ME2, but he needs to get back in my party...with a shotgun.

Garrus: He remained in my party throughout all of ME1, and getting him back in ME2 made him feel like a friend of mine. Hope he'll be there one last time.

Legion: We'll... he's a friendly Geth, what more do you need?

Liara: I chose her over the racist one in ME1, and I ran around and helped her with the shadow broker in ME2, so I expect her to actually help me again.

Also Mordin Solus was a really fun character to have around, so I wouldn't mind seeing him back.

Of course, Joker and EDI are givens. But I almost forgot about lovable Conrad Verner, yes he definitely has to come back! (Provided he didn't get shot up in anyone's game.)

I liked Tali, Garrus and Legion. But from a pick of the three I'd have to go Garrus. Didn't care so much for Jack or Samara.

Kinda liked Thane because he was all Zen, yet couldn't get over the distancing between himself and his family.

I don't know ... but Tali & Garrus would be missed if they weren't in ME3. I wish I had more party time with Tali especially given I went Infiltrator class (didn't really need a tech expert) in both games and I can't bring myself to play anything else in both.

Pretty much everyone except the Cerberus duo- I never liked them. Sure, they are interesting characters, but they never were that useful to my playing style- Miranda in particular were really brittle.

Descending order of badass-ery.

Zaeed: Tough luck for all you cheap-skates who didn't buy this Swiss-Army-Knife of a man. But if the pain is too much bear, remember. "Rage is a hell of an anesthetic."

Garrus: From the beginning to the end of this series, Garrus is my ol' reliable.

Tali: Same story as Garrus. Friends to the end.

Thane: Who wasn't impressed when he dropped from the ceiling and dropped 2 guards and Dantius?

Legion: I never thought logic could be so funny.
