Some remarks on achievements I found difficult/notable:
Medal of Valor: I started my Insanity playthough with a Level 53 character, which only made it tedious instead of very difficult. Synthetics went down quickly enough but organics spamming Immunity (esp. Krogans, grr...) made it slow-going at times. Perhaps playing Insanity mode on a brand new career should have been a separate achievement?
Extreme Power Gamer: It took me roughly 2.5 playthroughs to get to level 60. Two playthroughs were mostly complete with a third playthrough that avoided almost any side-missions. I also tried to avoid killing enemies with the Mako, although I'm not sure if it was necessary to avoid a fourth playthrough.
Lift Mastery, etc.: These achievements forced me to give the other classes besides Soldier a go, which was cool. Lift, Sabotage, and other powers that can just be spammed in the air didn't take too long to get. Stasis and AI Hacking took the longest since they have to be used on a target and I never found either ability to be that useful. AI Hacking just seemed to guarantee that that enemy would get mowed down by his comrades very quickly.
Soldier Ally, etc.: These were the last achievements I got. I've seen a lot of discussion about exactly how many missions/assignments it takes to get each character's achievement but I'm not convinced that anyone is exactly correct about the numbers. For example: The ME Wiki states that you need to complete 45 assignments with Ashley to get the Soldier Ally achievement. However, I got the achievement with only 38 completed assignments (and 22 completed parts of missions or "sub-missions"). Also, the exact moment I got the achievement was in the middle of the Feros mission right after detaching the Geth ship from the Exogeni Headquarters. This moment in the game is not the end of any assignment, but it is the end of a sub-mission. Does each sub-mission count as a completed assignment? I'm not sure. Perhaps each assignment and sub-mission that I completed with Ashley added up to 45. It's also unclear whether or not you get credit for missions that are only completed once you're back inside the Normandy, since your squadmates are no longer in your party at that moment.
Anyway, those are just some of my thoughts about those achievements. Now, there are some ME2 achievements I need to get...
