Tuvok or Neelix?

I actually thought T'Pol was a much more interesting Vulcan character than Tuvok. (How many have started hating me now?)

Tuvok always seemed incredibly dull to me and the same goes for Russ' performance. Having said that I think Neelix is an obnoxious little fool.
 
T'Pol IS more interesting because she is riddled with angst, she is a wreck by Vulcan standards. Tuvok is much more mature, logical and well adjusted. A mature, logical and well adjusted Vulcan can quickly veer towards boring (exception: Soval, that man had magnetism).

Tuvok has a lot of dry wit that once again works very well with the other characters. They could have utilized it more. I would have enjoyed more Tuvok and less Paris but it's not really a Vulcan themed show.

My personal vote for "most annoying" is Kes but I don't expect anyone to agree with that.
 
The romance works well, but that's because they made her weaker than she needed to be as a half Klingon. If they had made her any stronger she would not have wanted Tom.
 
I definitely prefer Tuvok - one of the best characters on the show if you ask me. At first I really disliked Neelix, though he got less irritating as the show progressed.
Tuvok was central to some interesting episodes, had some great lines and was well played by Tim Russ. The bit where Paris made him a holodeck program of his wife seemed a little creepy though...
