I voted Wesley, even though I felt the writers were making him into the Dr. Greene of the show (ER viewers will get the reference 
). He was a friggin' trouble magnet, wasn't he?
I always had a soft spot for Gunn. He was just a normal (albeit tough) guy without any powers or special knowledge who was just trying to make the world a better place. And he went through a lot of character development too; go back and watch him in the first season and compare it to where he is in the last season, on to the last episode. An interesting full-circle character arc.

Its hard to pick a favorite. Like on Firefly, I wouldn't be able to.
I would have to say Fred. I liked her when she was crazy. I like crazy characters. Loren is ok but in small doses. I could have done without Connor. I liked Cordy after she lost the valley girl schtick.
I also liked the millionaire geek they had on in the begining. I wanted him to be semiregular. What was his name?

I let my daughter choose since she is a real fan whereas I just think Charisma Carpenter is hot.
She chose Spike - his hair, his attitude, his people skills.... (my response
)
She likes his clothing style also, especially The Jacket.

Can't vote.
I reeeally like Wesley, but the final seasons got a bit depressing.
I like Fred/Illirya. Amy Acker sent my jaw to the floor during the episode where Fred's parents come to visit and Illirya pretended to be Fred. She switched between characters without makeup, just her eyes and voice, in a way that was eerie!
I liked Cordy before she cut her hair and went blonde. Back when she had those long dark tresses and had a sense of responsibility knocked into her. But then she turned den mother...
Angel was fine in the first seasons, but the whole Angel/Angelus thing got real, old real fast. Specially during the Darla season.
Doyle. How I loved this character! Here's to you, Glenn Quinn!
Lilah had a great screen presence (dare I say a majesty) that every other female cast member lacked. They were girls, she was a WOMAN! And a fine one at that...
IMHO, Kate Lockley had the potential to be a really good addition to the cast (not to mention a romantic interest), but they kept her in an antagonizing mode for too long.
Connor, Groo, Numero Cinco, El Diablo Robotico: yuck!

Tough to pick a favorite -- no disagreement on Wesley's awesomeness, and I really enjoyed the character arc of Fred growing into her own and then growing into Ilyria.
To be different, I'll go with Lindsay. I really liked his character arc as well, and I thought that he was a good foil for Angel in the seasons that he was there. The actor brought good intensity to the show, and I could really believe that he had faith in what he was doing, as much faith as Angel had in what he was doing to stop him.

This was a close call for me because all the reasons listed for Wesley was so true. His growth was exponential from the time he was on Buffy to when e was on Angel. However, Gunn got my vote because he was the regular guy; as has already been stated. He had a quiet intensity and he just grew. I think the character of GUnn became larger than what was implied in the first few episodes.
