I think every squadmate from ME1 and 2 have their merits, and therefore I dislike none of them.

Kaidan- He seems sincere enough. I think his backstory is interesting, and he just seems overall like a long-time associate of my shepard and a general good friend.
Ashley- Straight-up honest. I did find her candour a little grating at times, but I could respect it. I still choose Kaidan over her at Virmire, however.
Garrus- I love the 'bro' feel he has. A truly good friend who has some very well-crafted dialogue.
Wrex- Shepard. How can anyone not like him? His brutally simplistic way of looking at things is awesome.
Tali- She feels like a little sister through the whole series. I end up feeling very protective of her.
Liara- Again, a bit of a sisterly feeling there. Her pronounced role in later installments is quite annoying, but I try to look past that.
Jacob- I think I'm in a minority of people who like him. He has a backstory I can relate to, actually, so I find him a very realistic character. Also, he's honest and open, a big plus.
Miranda- Initially, i hated her. She came off as cool, aloof and arrogant. However, I gained respect for her after taking her to face the Human Reaper, and when you look at her character from a more objective viewpoint, she's a pretty good addition to the series.
Mordin- He felt like an old uncle to me, full of stories, easily sent off on a tangent, and very funny. He lost a lot of oomph when they changed his VA.
Grunt- I look on him as shepard's student, and love seeing him grow from bloodthirsty killing machine to bloodthirsty killing machine with a purpose.
Jack- My Shepard's LI, every time. Her complexity is just hypnotic. I'm disappointed with her portrayal in ME3.
Samara- I love the mysticism behind her. She lives by a clear code, and her integrity allows her to commit some emotionally difficult actions without question.
Thane- The tragedy of this character is enthralling. It particularly hit me when he said shepard was the first friend he'd had in a decade. With both him, samara and Mordin, their spirituality really struck me, actually inspiring me to be a better person for it.
Legion- My word, the machine perspective they give is amazing. I loved having the view of a splintered consciousness on the ship. I was disappointed they needed them to go through a pinocchio story in ME3. The character lost its oomph.
Zaeed- He makes me laugh so much, and his war stories are brilliant.
Kasumi- A bright, tinkly character. You need a little light-heartedness in such a dire situation.

In short, I think all the characters were amazing in ME1 and 2, but I think they all suffered in some way by being included in ME3. The characters are just... lesser creatures in the final act. And as for the two introduced-
Vega- I'm sure he would have been fine, if we'd been able to talk to him properly for more than the scant conversations we got. as it is, we don't know a lot about him, and what we do see is him being rather insubordinate. Even disloyal characters in ME1 and 2 don't treat the Commander like that.
EDI- god no. We did not need boobs on the ship. This was a lame twist to pander to those who want Joker to bang the ship. The character is less for it.
Traynor and Cortez- I liked them. There's enough conversations to really establish them as people to be concerned about.
Allers- People may mock me for saying this, but she had the potential to be a good character. If they had put the work into fleshing her out into a proper character, she'd have been fine. As it is, she only just begins developing who she is (colony kid from Bekenstein) moments away from the end. Because of that, it makes it clear she's an attempt to opander to the crowd by putting in a recognisable face (not to me, though. Never heard of Chobot before now).

I've never recruited Morinth, and I didn't buy Javik, so i can't comment on them properly.

In short:
Love: Kaidan, Garrus, Tali, Wrex, Jacob, Miranda, Mordin, Grunt, Jack, Samara, Thane, Legion, Zaeed, Kasumi
Don't care: Ashley, Liara, Cortez, Traynor
Actively dislike: EDI, Vega, Allers

Morinth amounts to a half-arsed boss fight in ME3, which came as a bitter disappointment after the effort it takes to recruit her in ME2.

Dislike - Miranda (ME2), Jacob (ME3), Morinth

Some of them are different depending on the game. I prefer Ashley's personality in ME1 than ME3, I prefer Kaidan and Miranda in ME3 than the previous games, and I went from finding Jacob to be 'nice but meh' in ME2 to a jerk in ME3.

For the new characters:

Traynor: kind of interesting concept (she's a [junior?] Alliance officer who's bewildered as to the state of the world around her), and there's a half-baked lesbian romance if you're FemShep, but she isn't a speck on Kelly, who got far more development and had more relevance to the plot than Traynor ever did.

Allers: Again, great concept (war correspondent on the frontlines with the hero of the galaxy), but utterly wasted potential. Not only were existing journalists shoehorned out of the narrative for a new character we've never seen before, but (Chobot's decent voicework aside), the character has no relevance to anything, and we never find out what the consequences of her reports are to the galaxy besides a vague mention of hope.

Vega: Decent character. I liked the fact that he's basically where Shepard was as a younger man, and gets a lot of nice comedic moments on the ship, but he's a pretty bland squadmate in terms of abilities and charisma. That whole "Loco/Lola" schtick wears pretty thin too. I guess the best thing I can say is that he's slightly better-than-average.

Cortez: By far the best of the new Normandy characters. He's got a fairly interesting backstory, and I liked the fact that you finally had a pilot who communicated with you during missions and did more than just set you down on the planet and wait around.

Ensign Westmoreland/other ensign: I barely remember their names, they have no point besides making remarks about events that just happened, and they are part of a room that's just a masked loading screen. No point whatsoever.

Javik: He should have had more relevance to the plot and the story than being a DLC character who spouts out information about past events. His interactions and combat mechanics are possibly the best in the game. Every conversation you have with him is solid gold. Honestly, a wasted opportunity.

EDI: At least Ms. Tin Cameltoe is a hell of a tank. She doesn't really do anything besides tag along on a mission. She could have stayed as an AI and the plot would have barely changed.

Kaidan: Still as bland as always. He seemed to be getting a bit more personality by the end of the game, though. He ate a nuke in all my ME1 playthroughs.

Ashley: Went from lovable and complicated space racist to this bland soldier who barely gets any development, and is missing for a good chunk of the game. Just window dressing, really.

As for the ME2 squadmates in ME3:

Thane/Mordin: Awesome. Their character arcs were finally resolved, and they got better send-offs than anyone else. You know something's wrong when side characters get more poignant death sequences that the main character.

Jacob: Ruined if you're a FemShep who romanced him, and barely passable (and still bland) for everyone else.

Jack: I liked the whole development of her maturing and taking care of the students, but it seems apparent to me that she was either not fully implemented or intended to be a squadmate but never used.

Zaeed: He should have been the one to take over the Blue Suns instead of that chump sitting down in a shipping container in the refugee ward. All he does is sit around and wax poetic while there's a war going on outside - they even cut the best dialogue he had (during the Earth mission). What a wasted opportunity.

Grunt: Great character, great development, and part of one of the most heartwrenching moments of the game.

Samara: Almost non-existent. The whole "code or die" twist makes little sense, and winds up making her look like a zealot who is beholden to the rules, even in the face of common sense.

Kasumi: Non-existent. I thought the whole "greybox with a terrible secret" thing in Stolen Memory would have more to it than an encounter with a jellyfish.

Legion: Is it me, or is he a lot more...human? He's got some good lines and some great development, even if his sacrifice doesn't make much sense.

Garrus/Tali: Both well-written, as always.

Miranda: Pointless to overall story and overarching Cerberus plot, has no real reason to be there besides cleaning up a loose end from the second game. Didn't care for her, honestly. Maybe if she was a squadmate and had more development, I would think differently.

Liara: Suffers from inconsistency if you previously romanced, but otherwise decent characterization. Combat skills are really good, apparently.

Indoctrination, I suspect. No mind uncorrupted by the Reapers could hate Garrus.

But seriously, people are allowed to not like characters, provided they're civil about it. I find Garrus has one of the most tolerable "anti-fanbases", as it were, actually.
