There was initially a way to keep both if you played your cards on Virmire right but they cut it. Too bad, I like how they played off each other. I know. Unlike some other things, there's no way to fix this, even if it's in the ME1 code somewhere. Subsequent games don't allow for them to both be present. I'm sure some enterprising modder could make it happen with a LOT of work but I've never seen it.

Garrus is also my favorite, but he already has enough tallies, so I vote for my second favorite, Kasumi Goto.

Well, first ME doesn't have that much choice but here my absolute favorite is Liara and Garrus. I like Wrex but somehow for me he keeps charging enemies and he dies too often. Tali is somewhat useful against Geth but... Not too often. In my first playthrough I used Ashley a lot but that was when I wasn't familiar with the whole Trilogy and I simply liked idea of a kickass all-female squad. Later on when I got to "know" her point of view I started to dislike her. And Kaidan, damn this guy irritates me. For me he was useless, kept dying on and on. So i ropped him as soon as I could and he spent his time on Normandy confined to the ship.
ME2, here we have a wide variety of choices. I was disappointed to not to have Liara around other than LOTSB. My go to squadmate was Garrus. Together with him I frequently brought Samara and Thane. I have basically never used Jack, Jacob, Miranda, Kasumi and Zaeed unless forced to. Legion sadly doesn't really get to spend much time in the game but i do like him a lot. I also like Mordin but there are other characters I like more. Somehow Tali isn't much of use for me ever and Grunt has the same annoying problem as Wrex with stupid charges and frequent deaths.
In ME3 my favourite duo is back - Liara and Garrus. Sometimes I take Javik for a roll. I don't like neither Vega nor A/K. I like EDI but she usually helps flying Normandy. But that's just me.
So overall in the Trilogy it's: Liara and Garrus.
In Mass Effect Andromeda Vetra always have to be by my side and then it's either Drack or Jaal. Cora is annoying with her delusions of Asari Commando, Liam is just plain dumb and Peebee is exceptionally ugly compared to all Asari I have seen in the Trilogy and she also acts immature for the most part.

objectively speaking Miranda is the best squadmate in the series.

I like them all except for Morinth. But if I have to pick one is the Professor badass Mordin Solus.

Quite a few to choose from.
Top tier for me are Garrus and Wrex, both amazing bros. And Miranda hands down best looking LI imo.
A tier down, are the likes of Thane, Legion, Grunt Jack & Ash, they're all cool, just wish I had more time with them all in missions.
Liara is alright too I guess (though feels a bit forced on me at times)
Overall I chose Garrus over Wrex and Miri, he's been through all three games with me. There's no Shepard without Vakarian.

It's July 2021 and Kaidan is still 2nd. Can't they use Garrus and Kaidan in the next ME and just skip Liara entirely?
Edit for June 2022: I know this is old but Liara is now down to fourth. Tali in second seems very reasonable to me.

I voted for Legion. I like how he is connected to the story and his dry humor. That's how I pick the party too: If I think a character can have an unique perspective in a mission then that's the character I will select. That leads to odd gameplay balance issues in some instances, but I don't care much about that.

Garrus is my fav because he is perfect in every way. Especially in ME2 and ME3. He is great as a character and a very good squadmate. But I loved them all. I even liked jacob.

Thane. His romance made ME3 intensely personal experience, something that otherwise ME3 (and maybe even the series as a whole) lacks. I loved a clever set up of the romance where a dead woman romances a dying man, a last blast of individuality and reach for the personal happiness for both of them. It really made the overall story and the endings coherent, logical and so perfect. She had a truly complete life, before limping into that vortex, and getting her consciences integrated into the digital model, allowing for a union between the Synthetic and the Organic, and the world that solved the equation of the soul. heh, the best unintended awesomeness ever. I credit Thane with me being the only person alive who absolutely loved her ME3 ending. Oh the thane dying scene with a fem shep LI broke my heart and gave me the tears.

Miranda. I just wish she had a bigger part in ME3, but there is the Miranda Mod for that. I will admit a small part of me is happy Miranda was in the game so little. Bioware almost ruined my second favorite character in the series by changing her look, and having her nearly passed out drunk while on a front line warship. More of Miranda might have resulted in similar inconsistent/messy characterization.

Upon my most recent playthrough, Javik and Kaidan overall. In ME2, Miranda, Thane, and Kasumi make the game fun.
It used to be Wrex, but more and more, I am ok with letting him die. His behavior on Virmire is head venting worthy. And you get more assets in ME3 with him not around.
Hate Liara, and never found Garrus all that good of a character nor needed him as a squadmate. Never got the appeal of Grunt either.
Everyone else is ok that I'll use here and there.

Garrus. One of the greatest video game characters of all time.
Miranda second.
There’s none I actively dislike. Jacob probably comes closest because they wrote him as being a dick in the third game.

I like Tali, Garrus, Miranda, Kaidan, Samara (for her backstory and some of the interesting psychological themes you can glean from her dialogue with Shepard, not usually a fan of rigid types in general.), and EDI fairly consistently. Not sure who my absolute favorite is, if I have one. Samara would probably rank the lowest of them. My vote goes to Tali for now.
There are some I enjoy in one game but don't like throughout the rest of the series: Wrex, Mordin, and Legion. Kasumi may fall into this category as well; I still need to see her content in the Citadel DLC.

James has grown on me too, along with Jack. I think Jack's arc in 3 can be a bit odd if you don't push her in the 'right' direction in ME2, similar to Mordin's.
