For my "main" playthrough:
Miranda or Jack?
Jack - I don't trust Cerberus. Jack may be volatile, but you know where you stand. Miranda never seemed really trustworthy for my main character. The constant attempting to take leadership might have something to do with that.

Tali or Legion?
Tali. Of course, this one is easy since I never activated Legion in my main playthrough. In fact, I was somewhat disappointed that there wasn't an option to leave Legion behind upon discovery this time.

Mordin or Grunt?
This is the hardest choice - Mordin's science capability provides more usefulness outside of combat, while Grunt is much stronger in-combat: a good replacement while Garrus is unavailable. From a Krogan question, Mordin has much more utility for dealing with the Genophage, while Grunt is much more useful for Urdnot while the Genophage exits and, as long as it continues, Wrex's reforms will have more effect. Ignoring the Reapers, it seems to me that it is in both Galactic and Krogan interest that the Genophage continues, so as far as the krogans go, Grunt is the right choice. But from the perspective of dealing with the Reapers directly, Mordin and his research is unquestionably more useful. 
For this, I would say if I thought that I could deal with the Reapers without Mordin's assistance, I would go for Grunt. Otherwise, i would go for Mordin.



Garrus or Thane?
Garrus. History + Usefulness. Wouldn't do to break up my main squad or get rid of my secondary combat leader.

Samara or Jacob (Since didn't do either of the other DLC)
This one is a hard one mainly because neither of those characters have had any interest for me so far and neither of them bring much to the team. Samara would be more trustworthy, while Jacob would be slightly more useful from a utility standpoint.  I think I would pick Samara just for the trust factor.

Joker or EDI?
Joker.

Anderson or TIM?
Anderson.  This one is easy because no matter how hard I try, I have not been able to get myself to like TIM at all so far in any of my playthroughs. .

Well... here it goes.

Jack- she has some kick ass tattoos.
Tali- Legion annoys me
Grunt- simple. he is a giant and enjoys killing. Mordin... not so giant
Zaeed- he has pretty great battle stories
Thane- I guess Garrus is just too busy with caliberations
Samara- She can float... i guess thats all i got?
EDI- her sense of humor (or lack of) amuses me
Anderson- because he cant die... 'nuff said

I'd side with Miranda. She's my Shepards love, and a greater asset to humanity.

For the greater good I'd probably side with Legion. With legion I have a better chance to solve for peace, without him there may be no hope. I like Tali but weighing her life vs every Geth life and ever Quarian that could die from a war..... I have to side with legion. With him there is a greater probability for peace.

"Mordin or Grunt?" This one is hard since I really like them both and they are both great at what they do. Lets put this into context Mordin is old and will die soon anyway. Grunt is a young fighter who has the potential to live, and fight, for over a thousand years. And the war with Reapers will likely be long and bloody. I have to go with saving Grunt.

"Jacob or Zaeed?" I'd save Jacob even though I do like them both. Most of my femsheps have romanced Jacob so I'm biased there, and for my male sheps Jacob is a good loyal soldier who tries to walk the high road. Zaeed just doesn't. So I'd save Jacob.

"Garrus or Thane?" Though I like both, but I've known Garrus longer and Thane is going to die soon anyway. I choose Garrus.

"Samara or Kasumi?" This one is hard, but I'd probably go for Kasumi. Samara is wise and powerful but she has lived long enough. That and I disagree with her Code. She may make things difficult in the coming war.

"Joker or EDI?" I love both I truly do, but in terms of their contribution to the war effort.... I gotta pick Edi. Pilots can be replaced. Edi cannot and she may help more in the war than any single soldier could.

"Anderson or TIM?" Easy Anderson.

Miranda or Jack? Miranda, because she's prettier than Jack.

And let's make it interesting and pretend Bioware wanted to make it so half your crew would die, and gave everyone a similar choice in some form or another:

Mordin or Grunt? Mordin because he's one of the most fully realized squadmates in the game.

Garrus or Thane? Garrus because he's got history with Shepard and isn't an annoying quarian whelp.

Samara or Kasumi? Samara because she is THE most fully realized squadmate in the game.

And just for cruel fun:

Joker or EDI? EDI because she's way more useful than Mr. Brittlebones, who is mainly there for the kindergamers anyway.

Anderson or TIM? Anderson, because I have Paragon tendencies.

[AClockworkMelon]

Miranda or Jack? - Jack. Despite being a psychopath who likely belongs in prison, Jack isn't a member of Cerberus, the terrorist organization that created her. Miranda's support of Cerberus is inexcusable.



Tali or Legion? - Tali is one of my Shepard's closest friends. Legion isn't even an individual, but a body possessed by a hive mind so he can't die. It'd be like cutting off my hand and saying that I'd died.



Mordin or Grunt? - This one was actually a tough choice. Shepard is great friends with both of them. I'd probably choose to save Grunt. As Grunt's battlemaster I feel like I'm responsible for his safety more so than I am for Mordin's.



Jacob or Zaeed? - Jacob. Both of these guys are guns-for-hire working for Cerberus, a terrorist organization, but at least Jacob seems to have some morals.



Garrus or Thane? - Garrus. Garrus and my Shep are part of an epic bromance.



Samara or Kasumi? - Samara. I've never had Kasumi so I don't know anything about her. Plus Samara is my favorite ME character.



Joker or EDI? - Joker.



Anderson or TIM? - Anderson.

[Pacifien]

Miranda or Jack?
I did have a playthrough where I had to choose and I sided with Jack because I wasn't buying any of Miranda's spiel about Cerberus. Either Miranda joined the Normandy because she believed in the fight against the Collectors, in which case my gaining her loyalty should have never been an issue, or she joined the Normandy to watch over the Illusive Man's investment. In which case, she really needs to earn my loyalty.

Tali or Legion?
When I had to choose who to go through the vents the very first time I did the suicide mission (note to self: remember to move thread to spoiler forums), I actually thought the one going through the vent had a very good chance of not making it. So I chose Legion to go through. I love Legion, I love pondering about the geth civilization, but I guess that my bias against a machine does shine through somehow.

Mordin or Grunt?
Mordin's brain is more use to me in fighting the Reapers than Grunt's brawn.

Jacob or Zaeed?
Jacob. He believes in the cause. He believes in Shepard.

Garrus or Thane?
Garrus. I don't know why, because in the end, I think they're both equally loyal to Shepard's cause.

Samara or Kasumi?
Samara. Her pull with the asari as a Justicar can come in handy. She's a warrior whereas Kasumi is simply a thief.

Joker or EDI?
You know, I'm kinda worried about Reaper technology being incorporated into EDI. (note again to self: seriously must move thread to spoiler forum now)

Anderson or TIM?
The Illusive Man has proved a better resource in fighting the Reapers. He gets a pass. For now.

Tough one on Tali vs Legion. Probably Tali but it would really depend on circumstances of the choice.

Mordin. Okeer seems to have put everything into Grunt's memories except anything useful. Rather not have to choose, but would have to be Mordin.

Jacob. Zaheed is likely the better as far as pure combat skills, but tacticly, setting the refinery on fire was innane. If he wanted an assassination, he should be a lot less clumsy about it.

Garrus. Thane is already dieing and Garrus is proven trustworthy.

Likely Samara. This one would also likely be determined by circumstance.

Likely EDI, but again, circumstances.

Anderson. I wouldn't be surprised it this is really a choice in ME3. Anderson has stood by Shepard right from the start. TIM has only used Shep.

Miranda or Jack?

It depends on how close to Cerberus Shepard intends to be. Miranda is always going to be compromised by Cerberus due to them watching her sister, which wouldn't be a problem if you keep ties with them regardless, but a vulnerability if you mean to cut those ties.

Jack is biotic muscle, but Miranda has the superior, wider range of skills. For preparing against the Reapers in general, I'd favor Miranda, but again, dependant on Cerberus relations.

Tali or Legion?

Legion. Tali is great and all, but she's not in a position to steer/influence Quarian politics. Legion is a unique link to the Geth. In preparing for the Reapers, once you realize the truth about the Geth, Legion's future value outweighs hers.

Still, assuming I have the persuasion for it, siding with Tali and then telling Legion you just said what you had to keep her stable is an awesome scene more people need to try.

Mordin or Grunt?

Grunt, surprisingly. Mordin's intelligence/research is valuable, but only in the short-term. He's pretty damn old for a Salarian. Grunt's going to last longer, and his ties to clan Urdnot can influence the Krogan in the war to come. Mordin lacks the same pull.

Jacob or Zaeed?

This is tricky indeed. Depends on the Shepard. Overall, they're both grunts, and in strictly that regard Zaeed has the better resume and experience over Jacob. But Jacob is a biotic, and off-duty his level personality is a moderating influence for other squadmates, something much needed.

And, of course, my FemShep is in a relationship with him.

Garrus or Thane?

Garrus. Thane, love him or hate him, is going to die in a matter of monthes. Conrad's more likely to last until the Reapers get here.

Samara or Kasumi?

Kasumi.

I have... issues with Samara, starting with how only a temporary oath (ending in ME2's end) keeps her from being obliged to and trying to slaughter my entire team and even most Shepards in general. A loyal Kasumi can/may stay a useful Kasumi with a very valuable skill set even after the mission. A loyal Samara remains useful until the end of the mission, and then at best leaves never to return and at worst is going to kill my team.Joker or EDI?

Joker or EDI

EDI. The AI is more useful in the cyberwarfare department. Though you know the choice will never be made.

Anderson or TIM?

The man I don't like who does help me, or the man who I'm neutral towards who doesn't help me?

TIM's doing more than Anderson at the moment.

[Siegdrifa]

Miranda or Jack?
... Hard to say, Miranda is a chearleader ****, and Jack is a bad ****, i would keep Miranda i guess, only because of her ability and because she have a family.
Jack, i was desapointed with her mission, i expected more, i was sure she was not in fact the Project 0 and some other crzay human biotic was out there, would have make sence because what she remember of her past is not what really happened. Making Jack the "usual" test subject for Project 0 would have made an intresting " face the truth" to her, letting door open for more psychologic depth to Jack character + " who is this real project 0 then ?".

Tali or Legion?
Tali. I love legion but with tali it's more about friendship and adventure friend since years. But it would a shame to loose Legion.

Mordin or Grunt?
Mordin, i like how he can do thing for the good of the galaxi while dooming is consious (at least for a short time). I like grunt but, if i have to work with bad ass mercenary, i don't need him and still make good work in the battle field, Mordin in the other hand, can still contribute to universe greater good. Lets say i value his brain over Grunt muscle.
Futher more, he keep ethical in his view of science, even when facing the "bad side" of his work, he is moved as bieng, wich is the total opposite of TIM where result at all cost don't seem to affect him.

Jacob or Zaeed?
Jacob all the way.
Many people complain he is without personnality, but i don't think so.
Too good and too honest guy are never popular. But trust is one of the most fortunate thing you can find in people, and Jacob is one you can trust.
And, Zaeed is one of the character i hate the most, he is not badly made, but i hate his face, i hate his scars, i hate his speach, i hate his hair cut, i hate his armor, i hate his manners... (just a matter of tast)

Garrus or Thane?
Garrus. For the same reason as Tali. I'm not a fan of Thane, but i don't dislike him either. + He will die soon and he is not afraid of that, i'm sur he would sacrifice himself in order to save someone that still could do something for the galaxy, especialy Garrus who try to "clean" the trash and bad guy around.

Samara or Kasumi?
Samara. I love this Asari, especialy her way of thinking (that i don't agree with). Playing usualy as Paragon, my Shepard believe (when it's possible) in redemption and not pulling the trigger casualy. Anybody can looks bad at a time even in video games.
I find Samara intresting for her "good side" character that "don't deal with redemption", it's just right or wrong to the code but she is aware that's it's not that easy, still, her devotion is admirable; Grunt would charge agains many foes only for "the good fight" like a game, Samara would fight in lost battle only because it's the right thing do to. I also like her standing and presence, she can be trusted and keep her coolness no matter the situation, she is a valuable being in ME2 univers. And the impossibility to romance her make more iconic, like she can't be reached.
I don't dislike Kasumi but i think she would be just over shadower by Samara. And i was despointed with her interpretation during her mission, she sound like a childish kid playing "impossible mission".

Joker or EDI?
Joker, he is fun guy and an old partner. Only the best human pilot could help Shepard deal with the dangerous threat in the galaxy.
I like EDI too, but like Tali and Garrus, old friend that can be trusted come first.

Anderson or TIM?
Anderson.
May be TIM have a greater role to play in the futur of mankind, but Anderson and his "fight the good fight" give him an edge for me. Anderson is like a tutor for Shepard, and he is one of the few who try to help him/her.

[Stazro]

Miranda or Jack?

- Miranda. Not that I like her, but fact is, Jack is a sociapath and a danger for anyone around her. Nothing I could say about Miranda, although she's an arrogant douche.

Tali or Legion?

- Tali. Legion is only a piece of hardware with software.

Mordin or Grunt?

- That's really hard. I guess Mordin, because he has some of the best lines in the game.

Jacob or Zaeed?

- Jacob. He's a bit boring as a story character, but he's a good guy, while Zaeed is already living on borrowed time, so to speak (meaning, he should've died so many times and just so made it).

Garrus or Thane?

- Garrus. Although he's notorious yeasayer, what annoyed me from the first game, I guess I can relate better to him than Thane. The latter seems just a bit strange to me(and about to die anyway) and I never romanced him with my femsheps.

Samara or Kasumi?

- That's hard for me too. There are little alike, but I like both of them. I think Samara would be prepared to give her life if necessary and it would be an honourable exit befitting a justicar, so I say Kasumi.

Joker or EDI?

- Joker. See Legion above. Yes, it's that easy for me.

Anderson or TIM?

- Anderson. He's a great, upright man, while TIM is a lying, deceptive, reckless, racist, powerhungry s.o.a.b., who'd sell his grandmother for the "betterment of mankind" (yeah, sure).

Tali <-- Master engineer.

Miranda <--Can't replace a genetically engineered superwoman.

Legion <-- Geth ambassador.

Thane <-- More stable than Jack.

Mordin <-- More useful than Joker.

Kasumi <-- Master thief.

[Miranda or Jack?]
Miranda. I just don't like Jack, no matter her background.

[Tali or Legion?]
God knows I have no idea. But I'd go for Legion I guess. Tali's been around for two games, that's enough for her.

[Mordin or Grunt?]
Frak this, I'm nuking the site from orbit. They're both coming with me, can't live without these two. I'm curious, though, what Mordin would think in such a situation. He clearly cares for the Krogan and Grunt seems like a solution to the genophage he'd be perfectly satisfied with, so would he volunteer to stay behind to save him? Point is, however, if Grunt would allow for that. After all, he's... a... KROGAN!! He'd most certainly charge headlong into the fight, making it difficult to rescue him.

[Jacob or Zaeed?]
Zaeed. Though I appreciate Jacob's attitude towards Shepard, Zaeed is pure, distilled badassery. You can't win against that.

[Garrus or Thane?]
Garrus. Don't like Thane.

[Samara or Kasumi?]
Dang, Kasumi. I'd love to save Samara too, but I guess it'd be appropriate for her to sacrifice herself and I just can't live without Kasumi.

[Joker or EDI?]
I dunno... I think Joker, because it'd make an interesting story if an AI sacrificed it...herself? to save living beings.

[Anderson or TIM?]
Now that's easy, Anderson all the way. However good it is to hear Martin Sheen in the game, I'll never choose that cold-blooded bastard that TIM is over admiral Anderson. A more interesting and difficult decision would be TIM vs Udina.
