Thane Krios definitely. Assassin with a strong moral and religious code, who always has something interesting to say? Nice. Add some badass sniper rifle skill (sadly, only in-universe, since he's not that good as Garrus or Legion on that particular subject), and now we're cooking, Even though he wasn't really that useful in combat, I always picked him for the missions, just because I liked his interrupts in the dialogs more than anyone's else.
Huh, really hard to choose. Really, I liked them all, and for different reasons.
Mordin- An obvious choice, he's funny, a genius, he sings, and his loyalty missions was definitely one of the more interesting ones. Shame I didn't get much use out of him in combat, though. Just too fragile.
Legion- The reason why I wish I had avoided all sorts of hype/spoilers before the game came out. I imagine I would've shit bricks upon finding out I can have a Geth teammate. His loyalty mission presented the biggest moral dilemma I've ever encountered in a game, and he was really just so damned interesting.
Garrus- In the first game he was like an alien Dirty Harry. In ME2 he become more of an alien Rorschach, and I approve. He's also just a blast to talk to and he's pretty useful in combat.
I think I'll cut it there, as I really could just go on about every character in the game, but I'll just say those three are tied for my favorite.
Also, one quick honorable mention who almost made it
Liara. Yes, she is only in your team for the duration of the LotSB DLC, but all of her powers are just amazing. Warp? Nice, that's always useful. Singularity? Wow, okay, that's pretty damn cool. Stasis!?!?. I love you, Liara, I really do. Not to mention that whole DLC really does a lot to flesh out her character and show just how much she's changed since ME1.

Now this is gonna sound weird, but bear with me. Legion is my absolute favorite character in the game, however Mordin is the best damn character in the series to date. Why does this conflict? Well, basically because while Mordin is good to have in your party, he tends to become cannon fodder and his weapon choices are meh. Legion is a great character and is a goddam war machine in your party. (As is Grunt, but he's not as cool as Wrex)
Mordin has the most interesting personality and quirks, with Legion a very close second because of him being a Geth portable unit. The deal breaker is that Incinerate is good, Legion using the WIDOW is godly.

For me it would have to be either:
Zaeed for his clear cut lack of morality in a game about moral choices, I just found it a nice juxtaposition (I also liked that you had to be cold right from the beginning to get his allegiance; the Dragon Age people should of made Zevran similarly amoral.)
Jack for being a character that comes off all cliché bad-ass until you do her loyalty mission and come to what I found the hardest of all the paragon choices at the end.
All of the characters are well written, but those two for me had the most interesting side missions.
This is without buying the expansions after Zaeed; really should install it again and buy the rest.

Is it cheating to say Tali and/or Garrus? Well, not Garrus. I pick Tali, maybe Legion, and Grunt.
Mordin always came along. Even when I was playing tech classes and his anti armour skills were redundant he came along.Besides him, Tali is cool too
You could've just left out Jacob and/or Miranda and included Tali. They were nothing all that special.Ildecia said:
OT: We're agreeing that "Other" means "Tali Zora'h Vas Normandy" right? then her. Legion and Mordin and Wrex (I don't care!) were awesomely interesting characters and would've given Tali a serious run for her money........IF I hadn't done her loyalty mission (best daddy issues story ever written...eat your heart out Jacob) and romanced her (once you liberate a woman of whatever, being trapped in a meatl shell FOREVER and not feeling the touch of an organic being must feel like....there's no going back.)
Garrus. I play as an infiltrator, and with Garrus on my team on missions with wide (not right word) areas we can usually flank most waves. Plus he's like an old buddy, so the banter is more relaxed.
