We seem to like characters that "misbehave". Lets see what we can come up with. Try to keep it sci-fi.
Gius Baltar (BSG)....Deception, disloyalty, dishonesty all done with a character that is quite like-able...shiny indeed.

Avon. Blake's 7.
G
Servelan was a bit naughty too, but that was alright...

Ok, a bit obvious, and he ultimately turned to be a good guy...
Han Solo. He is a scoundrel after all.
At age 7, when I first saw starwars, I knew Luke was supposed to be the big hero but I wanted to be Han.

I was 8 when I saw it - and I, too, wanted the not-so-squeaky-clean to be a BDH!
I always loved to hate Avon too (think I had my first 'fantasy' about him....
Where did my youth go?)Brody & Doyle (sorry, not so sci fi) from The Proffessionals or the most obvious - Spike!! And I mean even before the whole doin' Buffy phase... getting a soul thing!

STOS: Harcore Fentin Mudd - not attractive, not successful, not smart at all, and would admire Jayne's common sense. But the guy had style

Deep Space 9's Quark, a grand schemer!

Ok I'll weigh in. I happen to root for Dr. Gaius Baltar as well & Six (can't forget Six) (((shiver))) Siiiiiixxxx....... Oh yeah, and I highly doubt either one will get anything but worse.
If you consider Sci-FI / Fantasy then I would also add Spike from Buffy (though I prefer him in Angel Season 5)
and Spike - Cowboy Bebop
and Mugen - Samurai Champloo
Ok I'm done for now.
bit of a stretch but I love pushing the envelope I'd have to say Dr. Gregory House.
Ok now I'm done....really.

Ignoring those mentioned previously, and some of these aren't so much "bad guys" as "chaotic good," but:
Capt. Jack Sparrow
Capt. Barbossa
Capt. Mackenzie Calhoun
Xyon (the Star Wars equivalent of Han Solo)
Gul Dukat
Tom Paris
Shran (from Enterprise)
Talon Karrde
Lando Calrissian
Jaina "Sticks" Solo (When she turned to the Dark Side in NJO)
Nom Anor
Nen Yim
Saba Sebatyne
Tyr Anasazi (Of the Kodiak Pride, out of Victoria by Barbarossa)
Batou (from Stand-Alone Complex)
Kakashi-sensei (from Naruto)
InuYasha
Sesshoumaru
Miroku
Kagura
Kikyo
Naraku
Kouga also qualifies, but I'm not overly fond of him. He's too much of a jerk, not enough redeeming qualities.
Anybody seen the fanvid "Miroku's Guide to Buddhism?" It lists the tenets of proper Buddhist behaviour, while showing how Miroku cheerfully violates every single one (repeatedly, in some cases).

Some obscure 'chaotic good' ones....
Xris (Mag Force 7, Margaret Weis)
Colonel Fitzhugh, Ariel, Eamon, Fal, Pistol, and Chip (Rats, Bats, And Vats, Dave Freer and Eric Flint)
One bad group from the same book...
The Mag'h
And of course...
ANGELUS

Constantine
Blade
Dorian Gray ( in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen)
Riddick
