Yeah, I'm not much of a fan of true paragon 
I wouldn't play pure Paragon if I
could help it. It just seems that I default to those choices. Hell, I'm
starting my first Renegade playthrough as I post this.
I was almost entirely paragon in ME1, in ME2, I end up pretty close to 50/50 just making gut calls. Unfortunately, that doesn't help much for persuasion, so I tend to go with my gut on major decisions, and stay constantly paragon or renegade with the decisions that don't really change based on what you pick.
Always fully paragon with my crew and whoever deserves it though. It just so happens there aren't nearly as many good people in ME2 compared to ME1.
Some of the renegade options kick ass though. The intimidate for the admirals in Tali's trial kills the paragon one, and a lot of the intimidates on random criminals sound a lot better than the charm counterparts.
