    Naturally, I'll play whatever character is needed for the group to succeed, but if given the option I go for Jaeger simply for the Vindicator damage bonus.

    I too choose to fill whatever gap the team needs, but by default I usually shoot for Sarge.

    I've played a lot less of the tech characters than any of the others but I'll just play whatever character best fits into the team I'm working with.

    I shoot for Jaeger, but if the team's missing a role I'll fill it.

    I tend to prefer support, followed by DPS.

    I go Faith when/if we need a medic and we have a large group; I'll go Bastile if I'm just playing with one other person.  

    If I'm not her, I like Jaeger and his crazy shotgun.  I remember when I first saw him I thought "The only good thing about him is that Vindicator thing", but I underestimated how good that was.

    After that, my choice is Wildcat.  She's fast, and by the time I'm down to her we already have a pretty decent group, so there's not usually any problems.  I just don't enjoy "Machine gun" much, though, and that's mostly what Special Weapons seems to be good at.  

    I don't like Tech much, but thus far I've usually gone with Crash.  Maybe I should give Vegas a try, but I just don't like him much.

    Vegas or Jaeger
    Vegas for the melee bonus, fast welding and he sorta looks like the kind of strong, silent type. I like it :D
    and Jaeger for the explosive bonus. plus throwing out all 36 mines is fun

    As a lot of people have said, the place that needs filling in. Anywhere.

    Personally, I'm a fan of Crash's nerdiness.

    I always go to Wildcat. I haven't had all that much experience with the other classes, but I like the heavy weapons playstyle.
