Favourite Main Character?

I went for Kira, Odo, and O'Brien.
Of those, Kira is definitely my favorite: she was a strong woman but still had a well-depicted feminine side (without taking away from that strength). And she was able to show what it was like to be faithful without being an irrational person--something you very rarely see depicted that well.

Sisko, O'Brien, and Kira.
Aside from Ensign Ro, there had never been a character like Kira on Star Trek before and the series (not to mention the franchise) was better off for having had her.
O'Brien was one of my favorites from TNG and I loved the development of his character as a regular on DS9.
And do I really have to explain why I voted for The Sisko?
Worf is a very close fourth, though.

I really like Worf and I'm glad he joined. He found his voice on DS9
Kira, Odo, Bashir
Quark and Odo are by far the best and most complex main characters IMO; them and the secondary characters outshine all the other main characters IMO. Hence I voted for Odo and Quark only although I also like Worf, Jake, the Sisko, O'Brien, and Bashir. I have mixed feeling about Kira.
Disagree with the OP saying the main characters are all liked by the fan base. Lots of fans hate Jadzia and/or Ezri and/or Jake.

Odo, Kira, and Quark.
Sisko, O'Brien, Quark... 3 best characters. Kira was a close 4th though, love her personality. But Sisko and O'Brien were honorable, respected, solid characters, and Quark is just to great!
Worf, Sisko, Dax
I hate this particular poll; too hard to decide. Anyway had to go with Sisko in the end. Sisko, O'Brien, Jadzia. Had Garak been on the list there wouldn't have been any difficulty.
Ben Sisko, Julian Bashir, Kira Nerys.
I voted for Sisko, Odo, and O'Brien. Bashir almost made it for me, but I think those three embody the spirit of the oddball nature of DSN. They aren't Starfleet's elite, or even the Bajoran militia's elite -- they always struck me as a bit of a motely crew -- but like Avis, they tried harder, damn it!
Of necessity, Sisko as the lead is one of the strongest characters. His struggle with his wife's death, then his later conflict between being a good Starfleet officer and reluctant messiah to the Bajorans are what make him unique.
As the ultimate outsider, the initially amnesiac Odo typifies "The Other" character ST is famous for. Humanoid in appearance only, he has a unique perspective on humanoids in general. His shapeshifting ability I always saw as a metaphor for his quest for justice, for order out of chaos.
O'Brien is your quintessential everyman, and the only major non-com character in ST. He's a technological top-kick, the kind of guy you'd have a drink with, and able to get along even with the obnoxious Bashir and the prickly Worf. He's the regular guy of the series.

Kira, Bashir and Odo.
I'll join the ranks of the Garak supporters, though. Why couldn't he be a proper main character? *sigh*
