EDI all the way. Because for VA, because of her body, because of her relationship with Joker and because i loved the way things go for us after that Moon accident till the very end.
SAM will be defeated cause his VA is sh...

EDI is made in part from reverse engineered reaper technology, so she'd probably have the edge. So really, Lord Plot would really be the deciding factor in who would win. I guess it doesn't really matter though, since EDI is dead now. In terms of character, I'd also have to give it to EDI, though I think the bot she occupies looks kind of ridiculous. I think that overall SAM was meant to feel more rudimentary than EDI though.

The one who doesn't interrupt banter every 50 miliseconds to warn you about the weather wins, or would win in a world where justice existed. Character-wise though, I prefer SAM.

1. SAM with the Shut Up SAM mod 2. EDI in ME2 3. SAM unmodded . . . . . 4. EDI in ME3 (ME3 did justice to neither her nor the Geth)

SAM, the discussions with her are more interesting and that character overall has more potential.
EDI in ME3 feelt kind of underwhelming. Her romance and wanting to become more human was out of the blue and made no sense to me. I mean, if you want to be cynical that SL was only crafted for the Synthesis ending. Didn't feel good.

I have to say EDI. Leaving aside the fact I liked her development and increased interest in being more "human" in ME3, I think she's definitely the more interesting. I also liked that she had a little bit of personality, even prior to her unshackling in 2.
From a purely AI perspective, I agree her cyberwarfare suite is possibly more advanced than SAM. SAM himself is a good character though, IMO. He's endearing outside of his constant NOMAD chatter.

Warning! EDI fanboy triggered! Whoa! This isn't even a fair contest. EDI is no longer an AI if you ask this humble fanboy. She evolved from an out of control VI and then had undergone more learning under Cerberus. That alone should be enough concern to hit the proverbial delete button. Then she cajoles or gains enough trust from the Normandy crew to allow her to assume control of Eva Core's body, who is supposedly EDI v2.0. Within that body she's interacting with everyone (off screen, of course) on the Normandy and taking in her surroundings on the Citadel. She went from being EDI to Eedie. Tricia Helfer and the writers behind EDI sold that character. Of course, EDI had two installments (three if you consider the VI on Luna) to flesh out her character. SAM, has its moments and is indispensable unlike EDI. You can't progress in Andromeda without SAM. EDI, to some extent (minus the heroics in some cutscenes) is not mission critical to move the story forward. SAM, however, feels like a suppository that for better or worse, is there. www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=imgres&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjdxbzG5LXUAhUH94MKHUW-BWAQjRwIBw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fbiografias.estamosrodando.com%2Ftricia-helfer%2Ffotos%2F&psig=AFQjCNEVulyjaUx6yTXWNAaZk_QNf4otbQ&ust=1497270269189616

SAM is a more interesting concept in my humble opinion. EDI was written very well, and I appreciate her character - excluding the insult her design was in ME3. But the AI learning to become human is a concept that has been done before. A lot. An AI in a symbiotic relationship with a human, helping rather than angling for mwahahaha assuming direct control.. is interesting, and I'm not saying it hasn't been done before, but I haven't seen it before.
I see a lot of potential in SAM and his development as a character along with Ryder. Whether we'll see it is uncertain now, but in any case, my vote goes to SAM.

Why is it that the AI which frequently jokes about killing all humans comes across as less sinister?

Wat. Definitely EDI, no contest. I loved in ME3 when she would ask Shepard questions about actually being alive and human. Those were some great times.

EDI is not stuck in your head and can kill you whenever she feels like it. Then why didn't it do that to the crap 6 guys when they took the SR2? For me, the edibot was better as a hologram then getting a platform. Throw the thing out the airlock. It served no purpose in ME3 other than keeping the clown happy. It was alright in ME2. The sam voice is annoying. I chose neither

I like SAM way more than EDI. I found her ok/meh in ME2 but ME3 made me dislike her. The sad part was that it wasn't her character that turned me off but her presentation in ME3. Giving her an over sexualized body was a mistake. It shifts the focus from her mental development to her "sex-bot body". Even part of your crew focuses on it. Also her romance with Joker gave me the creeps. Because in ME3 EDI's still developing "mentaly" and "emotionally". I think that at that time she needed a friend, a guide not someone ogling her ass.
