Miranda >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ashley... how i loathed that bigotted ugly...thing... that Ash was. Miranda is a very interesting character. Her back story is just as well developed as Ash's, and her interactions are far more interesting. Most importantly, there isn't a trace of flirtation between Miri and FemShep... Ash's "commander" at the end of every conversation was too much.
Wrex > Grunt, but only by a VERY small margin. Grunt was suprisingly well-developed as a character, showing us the developmental stages that a VERY young Krogan go through, but of course, Wrex is a VERY old Krogan, and he's been-there-done-that. Too Cool to not win out, but Grunt has potential.
Kaiden >>>> Jacob. At first i thought Jacob would be the ME2 Kaiden, and was prepared to like him. But his attitude towards your squadmates as you recruit them paints him into a corner very similar in shape to Ashley's. He's a narrow-minded racist, (specist?) who hides it behind "suspicions about motives" At least Ash was more overt in xenophobia. Jacob is otherwise fairly "cool" so he wins out over Ash. Kaiden, voiced by one of my favourite voice actors (raphael sbarge) and with a deep, emotional background is infinitely more interesting than Jacob.
Samara > Liara. Morinth hasn't featured in a playthrough yet (As a squadmate) so won't comment on her. I think the biggest difference is Matriarch vs Maiden. Samara is at least 600 years old (does she mention how old she is, i can't recall)... more likely closer to 700 or 800. She's an EPIC level biotic. She's probably the all-round best squadmate in the game to have on your active squad. And her story is possibly the best of all the squadmates. Her intro scene is without question the best of them all. she flies. i mean, seriously, SHE FLIES. how freakin' awesome is that? Liara is still a great character, especially with the changes to her personality she's undergone. I'd like both Asari as squad options in ME3. Just as i'd like both Krogan options. Who wouldn't want either a pair of immovable obects or a pair of biotics powerful enough they could move those objects, in your active squad?
