I'd say Tali is favored so high because she's REALLY nice to Shepard. Same with Garrus.
That's surely part of it. Garrus and Tali are some of the few who always express faith and trust in Shepard's judgement no matter how bad the circumstances. Pretty much the only companions Shepard can call friends.
Garrus is trained, joking, survived a lot of fights, but that`s all. Ashley? simple, plain minded alliance woman that hates everyone non-human (and in one day pay price for it) throwing everyone to enemy line beacause this is "not alliance, not human" even cerberus, blind to ideals that are ugly from inside from very beginning. Ashley is tool of an Alliance as Kai Leng tool of Cerberus.
Grunt can do a lot, he is a krogan and genetically upgraded to the max, he loves fights but still a kid when thinking that he is indestructible -> may backfire. He is a savage, strong, but it really makes no credit to him - he fight, nothing else or little else. Children love to some ultra big guy with a shotgun that takes a lot of hits and one kick tear wall to bits. But promising replacement for Wrex if given teaching.
Garrus? Tactician, general on a battlefield along with soldiers. Perfect team coordination, huge experience and training still lead him to near death state from the mercs hand.
Garrus is a friend that took a wrong way nearly paying for it, thanks the fate he avoided it.
