I would have to say my first Warden, who I lived through, agonized over choices, planned to do my duty as my "family" had historically done, and cried at the end when I was unexpectedly in the presence of someone who understood the sacrifices of a true King. Then Hawke, then my Shep ... just not as easy to get into the Sci Fi as the fantasy world for some reason. I enjoy them all for different reasons.

*based on who is a playable character in ME/DAO/DA2*
Shepard > Warden > Varric > Orlesian Grey Warden > Joker > Leliana > Hawke.
Hawke's writing (not to mention role in the story) was abysmal.
Edit - Just remembered Leliana's Song; added Leliana to the list.

It's a tossup between Shepard and Warden. I think if the Warden was voiced she would have won, hands down, but I think Shepard just edges it.

The Bhaalspawn.
Okay, my Warden. But the Bhaalspawn is always first in my heart.

Hawke, because the voice acting is excellent (IMO) and the multiple personalities allow me a decent amount of freedom in how I want the character to talk, and the face editor is really good (could still be better but...).
The wardens had the blank face stare problem. That being said I certainly passed an unhealthy amount of time fixing and tweaking their appearance in the toolset, and the text dialogue offered enough flavour text that I could adapt any archetypical personality I came up with. The fact remains that it almost never mattered : many times, the NPC would react exactly the same way no matter which flavour line you pick.
Shepard... well the facial customization is lacking compared to DA (both of them) and the monotone voice is nothing to be excited about, though still better than DAO's lack of voice and facial expressions. Then there's the interrupts, they can feel really satisfying at times, and also completely disconnecting at others when Shepard pulls out something in a way I didn't quite expect...

My Dalish Warden easily wins this contest for me. In fact, the Warden is among my favourite RPG characters ever. Being able to choose her backstory and origin, develop friendships with some of her companions and strained tolerance with others, pursue a romance at my own - slow - pace (instead of being railroaded through it by journal updates and "visit and speak to xy" quests), shape Ferelden by making choices that matter, ...
Not having fully voiced dialogue helps too. On the one hand, this allows me to imagine my Warden's voice and tone, on the other hand, I know exactly what my character will say, instead of having to guess what a certain paraphrase might be in the end - and then having to reload, because I guessed wrong. This is much more of an immersion killer for me than having a (mostly) silent hero, who's voice I can hear in my head or can say aloud myself.
My (Fem-)Shepard comes next. I'm usually not to fond of pre-made characters (the one big exception being the Nameless One from Planescape: Torment, what a fantastic character!), but the game at least allowed me to pick my pre-service history and psychological profile. I would have liked more options to personalize my Shepard, but it helped me create a character that I find unique enough to see her as my own.
Shepard also gets a big bonus, because she can be played in more than one game. I love being able to keep playing my characters, loved it with my Bhaalspawn, love it with Shepard. Certainly wouldn't love it with Hawke though...
Hawke... I don't care about Hawke at all. I've only played DA2 once, so perhaps I'll learn to appreciate Hawke in time (though not anytime soon, because I'm back to playing DA:O now and then I'm off to the Normandy once more). Hawke feels like a NPC for me. Granted, a NPC I can influence to some degree, just as I can harden Leliana and Alistair, change Ashley's and Kaidan's views on aliens a bit and have an impact on Anomen, when avenging his sister (or not). Ok, I'll admit, I can influence Hawke a lot more than those I just mentioned, but to me, it feels similar. Hawke is a very elaborate NPC, but not my character.

I'm most attached to my dalish warden, but it was hard to decide, since I made my Hawke based on myself and actually liked playing her. She's grown on me but I still think most about my warden when I'm not playing. I think of him and Fenris... 
I haven't played the ME series yet. I just starded ME2 to see if it worked and I've got no time to play it yet. Maybe later

I feel more attached to my mage warden from DAO. This character offered me a chance to fill in some blanks with my own fantasy. I was able to create a (background) story for her. My mage was young, unexperienced in life and desperate to see the world. I thought a lot about how someone of her age, her experience and her education would react in certain situations. So from my point of view the roleplaying aspect here was very high. I created her and made her what she is. That's why my warden feels meaningful, three-dimensional and, well, complete.
I started to play Mass Effect for the first time a few days ago. Since I got ME 2 for free now (thanks, BioWare
), I figured I should probably start with the first ME. I'm not so far into the game so it's probably a bit too early to say anything about my female Shepard. The beginning was a bit rough. And it took my several hours to get used to her voice, but I'm okay with it now. I think I start to like her. It might be that she comes in second here.
Which would probably push Hawke to the third place. Poor Hawke. She had her moments, but all in all I never felt a deep connection. Although I started another playthrough with a male Hawke to see if it's any different.
Shepard and Hawke both feel more predefined, even though the player can define at least Shepard's background. Maybe it's the voice acting. I don't know. I felt always closer to my warden.
