The least important squad members & crewmates (non-playable characters) I found in the Normandy in ME3 were:
James, Javik, EDI & Diana AllersI would replace them for:
Miranda, Jacob, Jack & Grunt------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why replace EDI? Having EDI in synthetic form was a great bonus & nice addition to the team - but if I could have her in synthetic form yet not as a playable character to make room for one of these four - I'd be fine with that decision.
Why replace Javik? Javik is a great addition to have on the Normandy for his insight on Prothean history & how civiliation has evolved since his cycle but I never play with Javik at all, nor do I want to - I just don't feel he fits with my sqaud. So I would rather him as a crewmate but not as a playable character.
Why replace Diana Allers? This was a easy decision - Diana Allers was different but honestly this was a waste of a spot on the Normandy because she's a reporter, non-LI - she's just there - her role could've been done anywhere so her spot on the Normandy is an easy replacement.
Why replace James? James is the toughest one to part ways with because he is a great solider & love having him as a playable character - but his lack of being input, aside from his history with the Collectors, that's all we really know about him so I feel Bioware missed the boat with really evolving this character which is why I would part ways with him.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why take Miranda, Jacob, Jack & Grunt? Because Bioware actually took the time to create great background stories for these characters : even loyalty missions. These characters really grew on you & developed a love & appreciation for these characters:
*Jacob & his background with his father & wanting to not become what he was
*Miranda & her background with her father, her sister and the fact that Miranda was created
*Grunt & his desire to become a true krogan
*Jack with her abusive background, hard around the edges but deep down has a soft spot
All these things makes me really wanting to continue on with these characters & learn more about them and develop stronger relationships with them. You don't have that with James or Diana Allers - you can learn more about Javik & EDI which is good but I would rather keep them as non-playable characters though.

HOWEVER... if I could have a squadmate back from ME1...and ONLY one, I would take
Wrex over all those characters in a heartbeat.
