Edwin probably the best in my opinion, although I still hate him occasionally

Sarevok by far is the best NPC with Imoen and Nalia a close second.

It was a toss-up between Keldorn and Mazzy, but in the end, Mazzy won. I love everything about her, from her "can do" attitude to her absolutely perfect soundset. Keldorn gets me there, too, but his prejudices hurt him, I'm afraid. But I still love Keldorn! I don't know if I've ever been happy in ToB without his steady support.

Jaheira. Best developed female character in any game ever. IMNSHO 
But I loved Immy, Edwin and Viconia as well.

Yes, I confess, I voted for Anomen... 
I can explain!!! The guy won me over, he's so touching, in a way. He stumbles along his way, trying his best to do what he thinks is right, not always succeeding, but at least trying. And he's such a sweetie, such a gentleman with my PC! 
But of course, I also *adore* Minsc (no BG2 game seems complete without him, whereas Jaheira swiftly gets the boot as soon as we've cleared Château Irenicus),
as well as Mazzy (even though for some reason, she's not in my group as often as I'd like),
Valygar (especially when he comforts my grieving elven PC in ToB after that poignant scene in Chapter 6 in which Xan confronts Bodhi 
)
and Yoshimo (he's such a tragic figure in the classical sense of the term, I think, wish there was something the PC could do to save him! But can't fight a geas, I guess
).

Always Imoen. So light-hearted and lovable, and very much the most loyal, caring and trustworthy character. I've got to admit I have a soft spot for nearly all the of the other characters, though. Anomen, Jaheira, Aerie, Yoshimo, Sarevok and Mazzy were all fighting to steal Imoen's top spot away. And the rest? I love them all as well.
EDIT - Nalia, I can't believe I forgot her. I would have voted for her too, had I the chance.

This time the choice was much easier: Edwin! After him - Viconia, Sarevok and Keldorn (although I can never play with him for long with my mostly evil group, I really like him).

It was Viconia until I started playing with the Flirtpack for the first time a couple of days ago. Now I have a crush on Aerie again and gave her my vote here because the Flirtpack has given her a playfulness and coquettishness she lacked. Well done, mod guys!
It will be Viconia again soon enough, partly because of her portrait, more so because she contrasts so well with my good guys, and mostly -- very much so -- because of the way the Viconia Friendship beta is developing her personality and her biography.
Aerie is always in my party because she is a great utility back with her cleric-mage spells, she can walk for more than three miles after receiving some beefing up from Shadowkeeper, and I think she has the loveliest voice in any game, movie, TV show, recording studioor escort agency. Just joking about the last one, they would say I'm an insurance risk because of my age, my heart, my belief that gratuitous sex without love is for real men and I'm a wimp, and the way I would draw girls away from the agency because of my uncanny resemblance to Brad Pitt.

I did battle with monsters, and they became me, and when I gazed into the abyss, the abyss looked away shyly.
See, it helps not to believe all the stuff that philosophers spout.

Yes!!! We've caught them up. 3 votes each for Jan, Aerie, Imoen and Sarevok. Now we must find more gnome fans.

Like RPGs? Like Star Wars? Think combining the two would be fun? Read Darths and Droids, and discover the line "Jar Jar, you're a genius".
These, in the day when heaven was falling,
The hour when earth's foundations fled,
Followed their mercenary calling
And took their wages and are dead.

I love how the likes and dislikes of characters are (generally) so evenly spread, with few exceptions. It's really great to see.

I'll make a really bold prediction; not many people will vote for Cernd.
waits for Cernd to take the lead

Hard hard hard.
I went for Yoshimo because I think he's lovely, well-rounded and the perfect tragic hero. That said, Edwin, Haer, Viconia and Mazzy could've got my vote too if I had more then one.
