I love my Warden, but the excellent voice acting really brought my Hawke to life for me. I totally felt like Hawke, just like with the Warden, but with the voice it was much more dynamic and immersive for me. By the end of the game, I was so invested in Hawke that all the things that happened struck me with much more force than anything in DA:O.
So Who Do You Love More? The Warden or Hawke

I love the Warden because he was my own. Hawke was definitely a fun interesting character to play though.

I love my two wardens to death. Then again, they've defeated a blight, kicked a sentient darkspawn in the daddy bags and one of them is the only living paragon of the age.
Hawke feels like an adolescent, slightly irritating but undeniably alluring and full of promise. There's definitely the potential for Hawke to become as well loved as the warden. We'll have to see what Bioware does.

Both. Hawke, as Mage, can be an interesting diplomat.
Warden: If human Noble, is always queen (I only played as male once). Not many games allow this. Most others, if they survive, become Chancellor.
but my male rouge warden that survived became King? If you have high enough cunning you can save Allister and take the job of King for yourself. However, the compromise is that Annora gets to really "rule" the kingdom.
Its a toss up, because I like the fact the noble path I took above forced my warden and Leianna to "break up" and it is mentioned in DA2 by her.
I also like the facts my Dalish Elf Mage who sacrificed herself that was in a relationship with Allister is also mentioned. However....she's back alive and "missing" because I used my Awakening filed for this one.
both felt like "my warden" but they didn't have the emotions for their choices.
my Hawke however had those emotions, you could tell by his voice at the end he was sick and tired of both sides and just wanted to be let alone. When Sebastion told my Hawke that he would return for Anders,with an army even though we where friends he would still fight me over my decision to banish Anders. The reply was one of understanding. I also liked the emotions he brought out in the party,

The Warden, no question. Hawke will never be my character as much as my Wardens were.

Hawke. I feel more..attached. I think the voice helped. And I felt like I was with her longer, we bonded more. Actually thinking more I really think the reason I do love my Hawke more is because of her voice. It made her feel more real.

Hawke all they way I typically only played humans in origins anyway well besides my avatar.. The voice really added life too my warrior and apostate Mage I liked having the feeling the Templars would confront me at every turn. I'd like too think of Warden as more of a shaper of events rather than a charater that will be continued that's why he/she wasn't voiced because origins shaped thedas for charater's too come, and there was too much dialogue in the choices you made too voice. The rest of the story should just move on from what the warden did that created a new hero "hawke" as the center piece of events too cone.

The warden on the account that he was my character with me choosing his personality. Instead of me just picking whether he's sarcastic, friendly or mean. The warden was defined as how I saw him.

With no offence meant to the voice actors I never really bought their impressions of Hawke. Every line just sounded out of place, like they were people reading a script, the male Hawke was especially bad.
The Warden had the quality that your imagination gave him/her exactly the right voice and way of delivering a line, the ridiculous voice sets you chose for them not withstanding. "Desperation is an ugly perfume!"

My problem with the first game was that the Warden had to stand around mute while the others were voiced. If everyone was silent, it wouldn't have mattered. It really ruined the scenes in the crowning of the Dwarven king, the rallying of the Fereldon troops, and the Awakening official business scenes where my Warden stood there while a sidekick had to supply the drama.
I liked my male Dwarven noble and my female human mage Wardens (see left), but I really dig my smart-ass female and mean male Champions.

My vote goes for Hawke, because I could relate to her emotionally more. She was more approachable and human, with emotions and feelings that I could easily associate with. I could make up different personalities for her and still feel her as my own with various outcomes of her life.

Hawke has character. The Warden does not.
So therefore I choose Hawke.

I love them the same, for different reasons.
The Hero of Ferelden was an avatar of myself placed in Thedas, specifically Ferelden and let run loose to try and stop the Blight, or at least that is how I played my first playthrough, the one I will always view as my own personal canon (in my mind only!) when I think back to DA:O/DA:OA.
Hawke is a person in their own right to the extent that we are playing the story of his or her life (or at least 10 years of it), we know the ending, we're covering the events leading up to there. While our decisions are HUGE in regards to how we personally experience the game as events unfold and dictate Hawke's personality and coterie of pals and villians.
TL;DR, The Warden was like a personification of myself in traditional RPG fashion. Hawke is a badass I got to watch mess up some people's days. His/her personality and story was custom made, by me and the decisions by me. Which was fun.
Liked 'em both, for different reasons. I'd be down for either or for DA III. I wouldn't be amiss if there is a third protagonist either.

Hawke.
I was resentful at first that I could not choose an origin, but now my WArden just feels like a lifeless mute cardboard doll in comparison to Hawke. Mind you, I loved my elven Warden a lot and imagined her personality.
Hawke, however turned out to be exactly how I wanted her to be. I'd rather have a character that I alive, talks and responds to situations, than the one that just stands lifelessly there. Another huge plus for Hawke is that she can be so feminine and silly with her jokes, it's great. I felt really connected to the character and that she was mine. For that same reason I did not feel connected to Shepard in ME. she was too manly for me to love, although I did like her VA.
So, my vote goes to Hawke. (please Bioware, bring her back in DA3)

Hawke by far. I have never got so attached to my PC character in any game as I did to Hawke. The voice acting was great. I liked the family aspect very much (many people found it really weak but I think it was great). I loved his story and how his relationship with friends/rivals/lovers developed over years.
The Warden was great but he wasn't really a character. What I mean is that he was just a bunch of pixels on my screen that has served as an outlet/avatar of myself in Thedas and while some people find this amazing (and I'm not saying it isn't great) I don't see how I could possibly love and get attached to myself in a pixel form on my computer screen. Plus I was still restricted in choices which kind of constricts my ability to fully represent myself (there is no way they could gives us unlimited possibilities though). While with Hawke I maybe more limited but this is because he is his own character so it is justified and because I'm not representing myself and just deciding what kind of character he was and what stance on various issues and what choices did he make. This makes him a Character who we have some power over as to determine his personality,choices and relationships etc. as opposed to an Avatar in another reality. He is like Shepard but I got so much more attached to him because he expresses much more emotion and has much more personal development than Shepard's character who is mostly all about the mission to save the Galaxy (I still love him). Hawke is the best character in any game I have played yet( Merrill shares the spot with him
)
Above is only my opinion and no one is required to force their view upon me or prove me wrong as I will not do so to anyone.

Hawke. My Lady Hawke developed a personality and I didn't spend 90% of the game staring at the back of her head. Never mind the Warden's "Duh!" deer in a headlights expression.

I like my lady Hawke(s) – both in smartass and badass varieties. My Wardens were silent, blank-phased ciphers, so it's hard to really feel anything for them, even though I much preferred the story in Origins.
I tried a male Hawke my first playthrough, but I didn't really feel like the character pulled off "smartass" or "badass" convincingly, so I just went straight-up virtuous. He was the bland paragon Commander Shepard of Thedas.
