Wash, Simon and Jayne.
Wash: He's the most like me.
Simon: He was willing to sacrifice everything for his sister. He gave up everything for what family he had left.
Jayne: He really is a good guy despite being kind of dull-witted and coarse. He means well and is actually VERY loyal to Mal.

Kaylee- she has a wonderful personality, sees the best in everything, and is the most pure. also, im the most like her, so i identify with her most. in addition, she is nuts about engines, and i myself am nuts about spacecraft engines, both real and theoretical.
Mal- free, independent, passionate, natural leader, badass, and general big damn nice guy who knows who the bad guys are, then shoots them. he longs for simplicity in a world so complicated you cant breathe; hes the embodyment of that spirit in all of us that sometimes says, "screw it! im goin home!"
Zoe- GIRL POWER!! she can simply kick all kinds of ass seven ways from tuesday(vis. War Stories when she does that sommersault thing and blows people away) she has a wonderful sense of humor, and still manages to stay femmine though it all. fircely loyal, but strong moral standards, so she aint a pushover.
------------------------------------------------
When the stars shine bright through the engine's trail and the dust of another world drops behind; When my ship is free of the open sky, its a damn good day to my way of mind; Theres a barren planet you never can leave, theres a rocky valley where we lost a war; Theres a cross worn 'round a soldier's neck, theres a man's faith died on Serenity's floor, but i stood my ground and ill fight once more; Its the last oath that i ever swore

Jayne - Cause, like, if Jayne drove a cab, he'd be me..
Kaylee - Cause she's a fellow gearhead and happy enough to offset a whole lotta grumpiness.
Zoe - Cause she's just pure 100% Grade A badass.
Ooo oh oh oh !
Shiny thought! 
Zoe kickin the everlivin snot out of Darth Vader - cause she could do it!
Now THERE is a nice mental picture...

Ok well everybody loves a lover and a hero to boot so of the magnificent 9; I would have to say that my favorites are Inara (completely accepting of everyone, the perfect godess/whore), Jayne (man ape with a heart), and Zoe (warrior woman who could possible kick Xena's ass).
That having been said the opening question of this thread seems to imply that the entire series is up for grabs, so in the name of giving love to the unloved my real favorite three characters are:
1. Yo/Saff/Bridge- Because I want to be just like her when I grow up.
2. Niska- He's like your cute, old Russian grandpa only thing he tortures people to death.
3. Badger- Why? Why not and I've always had a thing for men in hats.
Phaedra (a bad luck name)

Favorites at this point in time:
The Ship Serenity: she is always there providing shelter and 'space'and unless her needs are totally ignored, has always worked.
Inara for her sensuousness and confidence. Her voice, her grace and command of her self (nothing like me)
River, to see the world as she does, even before she was damaged it must have been amazing to think like her, and she mends her thoughts are coming together. To be so smart... oh the thoughts one could think.
Does Joss count as a character??

First would have to be Mal. I share a lot of traits w/ him and having been a soldier and served in some unpleasantness, I can kind of sympathize with our captain. I can appreciate Mal's desire to be free, out past the reach of an interfering government. I respect & admire his dedication to his crew and how he would do anything for them. His charisma and leadership abilities make him a great captain, but it is his willingness to do anything to protect his crew & keep them together.
My second favorite character is Jayne. Of all the characters I think that Jayne has a lot of room for emotional growth & the way Adam portrays him is perfect. He is funny, a bit on the slow side, but when push comes to shove, he will be in your corner, even if the money isn't all that good. 
My third favorite character is Kaylee. Her optimism, cheerfulness, and almost innocent way of looking at things makes her the soul of the crew, and of Serenity herself. No power in the 'verse can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Captain said so himself.

#1 - Mal: for his strength, his dark humor, his loyalty, and his morals. Now if only he could cook, cuz then I'd want to marry someone just like him...;) lol
#2 - Zoe: for her strength, her loyalty, her ability to say a lot with few words (which obviously I can't do), and her courage.
#3 - Kaylee: for her cheerfulness, her optimism, and her skill with mechanics.

1) WASH - His sense of humor, fair play and sarcasm fits in to my mind set.
2) JAYNE - He's just too funny for words. Can that really be a person? You betcha! (Plus I like Adam Baldwin. He does a great job with the character.)
3) Dunnae. River and Kaylee are a match. I like the whole series but have only two favs.

1) Wash & Zoe as a couple
I get them. They remind me of me and my hubby.
2) Cpt. Tightpants
I understand his struggle against overwhelming forces
3) Inara
She is a total woman...sensual and smart and not asshamed to use her brains or her body.
