I liked all of the standard female companions (sorry, Kasumi doesn't count) for providing a different angle on what I see as traditional video game sexuality (Lara Croft, Dead or Alive, etc.)
Miranda was completely aware that she was designed to be an impossibly hot piece of ass, and feels insecure about her own worth as a result.
Jack is the most overtly sexual member of the team, but it's because of her life of physical and sexual abuse and nihilistic attitude towards other people.
Samara is a gigantic tease, wearing a completely impractical suit of cleavage-tastic armor and letting the player get right to the brink of doing the nasty before refusing. (Alternately, her daughter will sex you to death.)
Tali is the most literal example of "It's what's on the inside that counts" ever to grace video games, with few discernible facial features, zero exposed skin and shy-nerdy demeanor.

All. It's really when you get to their loyalty missions that you start to really understand who they are. We get to know their species better, their life before the mission, everything that makes them who they are. There is so much involved in those characters that I can't choose.
To be honest, I love all of the squad members you pick up. This includes the ones that are only available through DLC.
I love each of them for a different reason:
Legion: Badass Robot made up of lots of programs. Sniper and assault rifle wielder. Shadow Broker DLC reveals he's an avid gamer.
Tali: Adorable, modest, and meek. Charming, and has a great character design.
Garrus: Space Batman. Hilarity ensues during romance path. Great battle comments.
Mordin: Talks fast and talks short. Badass scientist. Has best moment in game.
Grunt: Funny and interesting krogan baby. Very tough and great with shotguns and assault rifles. Shadow Broker DLC reveals that he listens to Earnest Hemmingway audio books.
Jack: Pretty in her own way. Funny comments during battle. Most rewarding romance path. Made me cry during romance scene.
Kasumi: Funny and upbeat. Great outfit. Really fun loyalty mission. Shadow Strike is crazy awesome.
Zaeed: Badass mercenary veteran. Funny stories when speaking to him on Normandy. British accent makes him seem more awesome.
Samara: Space Paladin. Sympathetic past. Great loyalty power. One of the best loyalty missions in the game.
Miranda: Australian. Pretty. Crazy useful squad member.
Jacob: Really nice guy. Great loyalty mission. Only one of two squad mates that can use Squad Incendiary Ammo.
Thane: Sympathetic. Religious. Funny at some points. Sad loyalty mission.
These are in no particular order. I just can't pick a favorite squad member. They're all great.

Samara and Miranda. Samara's Reave and Miranda's Warp along with my own Reave would eliminate barriers shields and health in one shot from each.
Garrus. He's the gorram Punisher. In space! He's as good a friend as you can be without being real.
On a related note, I've already decided who I will try to keep alive at all costs in the third game (and they will be in that game, or I'm not buying it). My Five Man Band:
The Hero, Commander Shepard. The Lancer, Garrus Vakarian. The Big Guy, Urdnot Wrex. The Smart Guy, Dr. Mordin Solus. The Chick... either Tali or Liara. I can't decide! There's going to be one hell of a love triangle in the third game, that much is for sure.

Zaeed, Thane, Tali and Legion were my favorites by far.
Jacob, Miranda, Grunt, Jack and Garrus annoyed the piss out of me for one reason or another.
The rest, while pretty cool, didn't leave much of an impression.
Also, I may be one of the few but I SORELY miss Ashley Williams.
