I've heard a lot of ladies that like Mass Effect love Garrus. Something about his voice and demeanor. Cool bro material, but I never really grew super attached to him.

Jennifer Hale is great, but she'll always be Bastila Shan to me, and I don't think I could enjoy a ME playthrough with her as Shepard. I just hear Bastila, and at this point, Male Shepard's flat performance for the character is part of the charm to me. I also have a tendency to make him kinda ugly. Generally by accident. (Also I've seen waaaaaaay too much Rule 34 of FemShep)

My favorite romances are Liara, Samara, and Jack. Though only because of how Jack shapes up in ME3.
