Jo Wyatt is very good at a diplomatic, charming, character.
Nicholas Boulton is very good at a snide, sarcastic, character.
Both have strengths. So when it comes to the VA i'm fairly indifferent, they're both fantastic in their own ways.
However, with character interaction, sibling reactions, odd bits of Gender Specific Dialogue, i think Male Hawke wins out over Fem Hawke for me.
The personality clash between Marian and Carver felt unnatural in comparison to Garrett and Carver. Garrett's relationship with Bethany was also strong as the protective older brother, Marian also had a great relationship with Bethany, but Garrett takes the prize for this one.
I like the Marian/Isabela banter that you get through-out the game, but a lot of the one liners from Garrett are just utterly epic.
When it comes down to the Default Faces, i think they're both pretty awful. Cinematic Garrett from the Destiny Trailer made me believe that he'd possibly be the first default face i'd ever use in an RPG. He didn't look too young, he was rugged, rough around the edges and still fairly handsome.
Alas, the end result didn't live up to the hype and Default Garrett seemed to age 15 years once he hit the game, he also gained a beard with edges so sharp he could cut through the toughest of steel with his chin alone. So i ended up with a custom Male Hawke.
Default Marian on the other hand, is down on the other end of the spectrum, she's young, pretty and fresh faced. I found it difficult to take her seriously, so i ended up with a custom Fem Hawke.
Short Version: My opinion is, both Voice Actors are amazing in their own ways, i prefer Mr.Hawke for companion/sibling interaction, and i dislike both Default Faces. Would rather not have another canon forced down my throat, but either would be good.
