I only played the 1st game once, saved Kaidan.
In game reason- he was with the special task force and when it came down to it, I decided to save as many lives as possible, even though Ash and I were close. She wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
Out of game reason-to avoid that pesky 'forced romance' bug and to save myself for Tali!

My first time I saved Ashley because she was with the bomb, and I felt that defending the bomb was worth the loss of Kaidan's squad. They new the primary objective was destroying the facility at all cost.

Kaidan all the time because I don't like Ashley and that I find his charator and personality moar to my liking than Ashleys. He is also better in combat (moar useful powers) with my Shepards than Ashley is.

You do know that you can tell Ashley that you are not intreseted in her, when you catch her talking to her sister pick the top or the middle opition then pick " You're out of line " then " I'm not interested in you" to stop the romance I think.

Kaidan all time except one edited save and one downloaded save, so 6:2 ME1 (21:2 ME2) to Kaidan.

Motives: higher ranked officer, my gameplay preferences (manual squad power control leaves less space for AI to fail than trying to make squaddies shoot at enemy instead of your shields), rare loyal to Alliance biotic, level-headness.

EDIT: two saves which saved Ashley: pro-Cerberus xenophobe renegade Ashley (sic!) Shepard which decided Kaidan too soft and alien-friendly (and for metagaming lolz effect - Ashley the human SpeCTRes) and "worst import" (who has Ashley as ME1 LI he cheated on, and she never was too patient in question of jealousy).

Well, I have 4 ME 2 playthroughs of which 3 are ME1 imports and one is default Ashley.

I have one MaleShep from ME1 who saved Ash, but it was my very first playthrough and I wanted to do her. In later playthroughs I focused more on all the characters.

The imported characters saved Kaidan, even my Renegade Vanguard (my latest playthrough). Kaidan is going to be a Spectre in ME3, so he'll kick ass.

EDIT: my renegade fights for humanity dominance in galaxy, and he could use another spectres support.

I have playthroughs that have mixed it up so I can see the different consequences of saving either with romanced and unromanced VS and with both genders of Shepard. As for if the VS survivor magically turns bisexual in the next game...I won't play that romance out (just like I've never done the Tali/Garrus romance) because I don't like retcons in games.

[Rogue Unit]

Saved Kaidan. They both were equally annoying, but he's the superior officer.

[Aslanasadi]

I always saved Kaidan...I did it because of selfish reasons - he's my FemSheps only LI.

[Jane Shepard]

Kaidan. He will always be my ME1 love

[Phaffner]

I normally save Ashley, Ashley is a pain in the ass but Kaidan bores me to tears, so I normally leave him to guard the bomb and die.

[RGC_Ines]

With my first " canon" Shepard Female I saved Kaidan. Why? A few reasons:
-First he was with a bomb, and I was affraid, that Geths or Saren will be able to destroy it, before bomb will destroy Virmire
-becouse I had hope, that I will be able to save Ashley anyway ( pick up her with Normandy or something)
-Kaidan was my Shepard LI.
With my second Shepard ( female) I left Kaidan ( LI again) on Virmire, becouse I like Ash a lot, and I wanted to save her also

[-Skorpious-]

I saved Ashley pre-ME2, but now (at least for my canon Shepard) I always save Kaidan for two reasons -

A) My character was pursuing a relationship with Ashley. No, I didn't leave her behind because I was ninjamanced, but because it adds an incredible amount of depth and drama to the story to have your LI die due to your choices.

Kaidan always gets sent to arm the nuke. As players, we have hindsight - we know Saren will show up at our location regardless if we backtrack to the nuke or head up the AA tower. However Shepard doesn't know that - arming the nuke was absolutely pivotal if the mission was to succeed, thus, Shepard had to ensure that the bomb was armed.

Yeah yeah I know you don't have to save the person you sent with the distraction team to rescue the salarians themselves. But that would be metagaming in addition to making no damn sense, which I limit unless I am dead set on getting a different result.

The STG are know for their adaptibility and resourcefuless - its not hard to imagine that they had an escape plan set in motion (a plan B if the Normandy could or did not make it, like a drop shuttle for example) before the assault began. Plus, whoever was left at the AA tower went out like a big guddam' hero - they probably sacrificied themselves to give the the others a chance to escape.

I save Ashley - I don't see why she should throw herself on her sword to clear her Grandfather's name.
Plus I always see it as putting Kaiden out of his misery - the whole L2 implant thing.

Umm...Kaidan willingly keeps the L2 implants; he's not tortured by the decision, as he can opt for a better implant if he deems the act necessary.

[Cypher0020]

Kaidan when its my LI run, Ash when Liara is my LI

[Mresa]

Always Ashley, Kaidan only when romance and I did such playthrough only once. Not that I dislike him much(expect his hair) but I just like Ashley more.

[Tyrannosaurus Rex]

Saved Kaidan on my canon-playthrough. Reason being that he is superior rank than Ashley.

This. I also saved the bomb, since that was tactically more important. Whomever stood next to the bomb got a ride out of that place. In my playtrough it was Ashley. Happened to be my LI also, but i saved the bomb, that was the more important choice.

Also went with this logic although Ash is never an LI in my playthroughs. Was somewhat confused the salarians showed up on the Normandy TBH.

[Golden Owl]

Saved Kaidan

Sheps reason: Kaidan out ranks Ash and as the guardian of the bomb he takes priority...that bomb must go off.

My reason: I like Kaidan over Ash.

[K_Tabris]

Out of four Shepards, it's half and half.

I always stick ranking officer with the bomb, and think it makes the most sense to make sure the mission is a success (protecting the bomb, which is unfortunate for Ashley...)

The reasons Ash survives in two is for a romance, and I switch it up just to see the differences in the VS role in the next two games. So far, unimpressed.

[BatmanPWNS]

I save Ash because she's hanging around with those Salarians at the AA tower and Kaiden is alone and just one person.

But all together I have 6 saves and 3 with Ash and 3 with Kaiden.

[Trakarg]

Kaidan.  He's marginally less annoying than Ashley.

[SootShade]

In my case it's about who I kill; I really find them both to be just about the most bland and annoying companions in the history of RPGs.

Mostly I leave Kaidan to die, since Ashley is at least a little more pleasant to look at.
