Who were your favourite companions

Sarah Jane--best companion ever, I think.
Leela
Jaimie
Harry
Susan
Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart
Donna
Wilf
Romana
K9
Rory
Martha
Nyssa
 
I kind of had a soft spot for Nyssa back in the day. What keeps me awake at night is the question of whether the TARDIS translation matrix kept working for her indefinitely after Terminus or one day she lost that ability and had to learn the local language. ;)

Tegan was pretty awesome, a classic companion who made her mark on the show.

Adric gets the pity vote.

Grace was an interesting companion, maybe a proto-NuWho one, being an adult and extremely competent.

I've liked most of the NuWho companions; actually, probably all of the main ones. Rose, Amy and Clara have all been immensely watchable. Liked Martha too.
 
The only Companion I have actively disliked was Mel.

After that Adric is probably my least favorite and although he was extremely HAWT Ben was a bit of a prick, so, that kinda takes away a bit of his hotness.
 
Sarah is the best, accept no substitutes.

Runners-up would be: Ian and Barbara (as a double-act), Jamie, the Brigadier, Jo, Leela, Romana, Tegan (more so with hindsight) and Ace.

Donna, Wilf, Amy and Clara.

The Brigadier
Sarah Jane
Leela
K9
Peri
Ace
Rose
Jack Harkness
Donna
Amy
Rory

Its hard to pick a #1 favorite, so I'm not even going to try.
 
Jamie
Peri in her final season
Late Jo
Leela
Romana 2
Martha after she left the Doctor


I've not actually watched any original Sarah-Jane except Genesis of the Daleks yet.
 
I've always loved Donna.


Me too. She was my favourite "new who" companion.

It is such a shame the way they ended her run on the show though. That was the lousiest writing and heartbreaking. At least when a companion had died in the past they had died but this was worse then that.

I still can't stand Amy and Rose. Am I alone in this?
 
Probably not. By the end, I'd certainly lost a lot of my love for Amy, and retrospectively I don't care for her either way. Mr Pond, on the other hand, is an absolutely fantastic companion but I just forget him when I made my list.
 
And no one's mentioned Peri ...

Um...

I liked Peri a good deal. I think she worked well with the 6th Doctor, even when they had a more argumentative relationship.
 
for the classics:
Jamie
Zoe
Leela
Ace
Nyssa (always thought Tegan stole her spotlight. Davidson said he preferred Nyssa as his companion)
Sara Kingdom (should have kept her around longer)

And its probably sacrilege, but I'm not all that keen on Sarah Jane. She's competent, but I don't understand why she's so worshipped....maybe compared to all the female companions before her she was a nice change...but in the overall picture, I don't get it.

NuWho:
Martha
Donna
Amy (after she married Rory)
Wilf

Clara is just a plot device and not a character IMO - but damn she was exceptionally hot in Mummy on the Orient Express.
