I personally would just like to see a female "LI" that I liked. The previous four have all fell a little flat.
Morrigan: What a selfish witch. I will admit that the dialogue with Morrigan after starting a romance, and going through all her mood swings and personal confusion, was very rewarding. This is my favorite romance in the series, because in addition to the mechanical challenge of selecting the correct options, it felt like she had real character growth and change. Still... I didn't actually like her character, and had there been better options, I wouldn't go for her. (And in fact, in most of my playthroughs, I elect to simply have no romance).
Leliana: A fairly straight-forward, boring romance. She's pretty, and had an enjoyably quirky character. But I never felt any real connection or growth.
Isabella: Yawn. Promiscuous pirate with a heart of gold, or whatever. I don't think I've ever voluntarily taken her along on missions or talked to her, except in very specific instances. I like the character as a "bro", but I was always off-put by her over-the-top nonstop sexuality. Give it a rest. Some of us have work to do.
Merill: She was a fun companion. Like Leliana, she was pretty with a fun and quirky personality. But I never felt actually attracted to her. The romance always feels so sudden (mostly because of her obliviousness to your early flirt attempts), and you never feel any real connection with her. (Admittedly, the Rivalmance version is a bit better, since you do get to witness a bit of character growth and change. But not nearly on the level of Morrigan).
I've also romanced all the dudes (fair's fair), but I have little input on them, since I was more or less just doing it to see the dialogue and get cheevos. Anders had a lot of Morrigan-esque potential, but it just never quite followed through. Also, Morrigan had an advantage: You can get some closure with her in the Witch Hunt DLC. Both of them committed weird/bad acts at the end of their games. But with Morrigan, you got the chance to hunt her down, profess your love, and walk into the sunset (or Eluvian) with her. Not so with Anders.

Ironically, one of the only female companions I've ever actually WANTED to romance, I couldn't.
Alas, my sweet Sigrun. We'll be together one day.
