I was just thinking about this actually..
1. Jayne. cause i'm a sucker for a big muscly guy with a knife who isn't (really) a bad guy.
2. Zoe. she seriously has some of the best lines in the show. As funny as Jayne or Wash can be, it's always Zoe's one-liners that crack me up.. "Your disreputable men are here."
3. Mal. cause he's just so pathetic. That sounds bad. hmm.. the way that it's obvious he doesn't know martial arts, and he's not good at everything, and sometimes he doesn't cope well with what's happening, but he just keeps on getting up and trying again, no matter what.

Jayne. He's a pig. I like a good honest pig once in a while.
Mal. The not-quite-a-hero. I'm a sucker for lost causes, too, so I guess I identify.
Kaylee. Everybody needs some sunshine!

River, Duh!, she can kick nearly all other Joss Whedon characters to the pavement without breaking a sweat!
Wash, 'cause he's the cautious goofball I instantly identified with when he first popped up on my TV screen back in '02
Last but not least, Simon, because he has a deep love for his sister, that says "I'll do everything in my power to keep you safe, even if it means pissin' off The Captain."

I *Love* Kaylee- She is SOO cute- plus she looks like a friend of mine! Also she just seems like a multi-faceted character.
Next is Jayne- He's shiny and what I wouldn't give for an hour with him and his gun collection 
River is my third favorite. I was upset when Dru left Buffy and River seemed like an adequate replacement. I don't know why but something about Dru and River's characters speak to me.
The human body can be drained of blood in 8.6 seconds given adequate vacuuming systems.

Mal: cause I love my captain
Simon: I'd love a brother like him
River/Wash: I love them equally for different reasons... obviously
River: she can kick butt, while still being adorable and fragile
Wash: he's funny, but strong

Jayne...Jayne...and ummm...Mal? Or maybe Jayne.
Jayne is just damned cool. To state it any more eloquently would be very un-Jayne.
Mal also kicks ass. He had me at storming onto the ship and ending a Mexican standoff with a quick shot to the head. Scre Tom Cruise!!!

Serenity. As I noticed while I was posting in another thread, I would instantly feel a part of this crew, and what a great litttle arc she is.
Mal, because freedom is as important to me as it is to him, and I understand some of the kinds of sacrifices you have to make for it. I don't think I would have chosen him before the movie, but now that he has rediscovered the courage of his convictions, yup, Mal.
River, because she has all the great qualities the others have (loyalty, strength, buttkicking, compassion, humor, faith...) in spades, plus a vivid imagination (attacking the independents with dinos?) for lots of silly fun.
Of course everybody else is going to be there too.
Thanks to viral marketing...SERENITY: reopening soon in a theater near you.
Shiny Trees! Yavanna made Shiny Trees!

#1 Kaylee: hot, smart, and a nympho...she also says whatever she is thinkin (like in OiS at the end when she is tellin River about the 14 year old guy who must have been a genetic freak cuz....well ya know)
#2 River: hot, smart, and says whatever she feels...and shes a badass
#3 Wash: hot, smart...oh no wait I was just copy/ pasting there for a sec ;P..but really I like Wash cuz hes funny and he is the bravest person on the crew (he sits on the ship and worries while his wife goes out and does dangerous things, which is easy to do)

Can't very well choose between the big 9, so I'll stick to guest characters.
Interstingly enough, they all appear in Shindig.
1. Badger - because he was originally written to be played by Joss, so there was a lot of love put into his character, and it showed. He may be double-crossing scum, but at least he's honest about it.
2. Murphy - Sure, the man doesn't have many lines, but the ones he does have a brilliant. And besides, it's Larry Pennell, so you can't go wrong.
3. Sir Warrick Harrow - He's clearly a good judge of people, and just an all around interesting character. I love his sarcasm.
I was sad for many reasons when they cancelled Firefly, but re-watching it over and over again, I get more saddened by the fact that beautifully conceived side characters like Harrow and Murphy, both of whom beg to recur in the series simply be merit of the on-screen presence, never got a chance to be seen again.
