Like many many others.. for stargate sg-1 it would definantly have to be O'neil. Every action series needs comedic relief and he was certainly that. When he resigned off the show to spend time with his family i was upset but also agreeable. However it did ruin the series for me and i ceased to follow up on it until its ends. On the side of O'neil, it would have to be Teal'c or however it is spelled.
As for atlantis? It would have to be Beckett. He's the scotty of stargate.

I guess i have to say it's a tie between jack and danny boy for SG1. I like jack's carefree nature and sarcasm but I also like daniels intelligence as I think he makes the series more interesting overall. In a way I kinda feel like daniel is the whole reason stargate even exist. Without him the show just wasn't the same, I really hated when they took him out for so long (forget which season that was).
For Atlantis, I don't care but mckay just gets on my nerves and I wouldn't miss him if he left the show period. Maybe if they didn't have him in 95% of all scenes and/or his scenes weren't so long, I'd like him. As it is now it's like eating chicken everyday, 3 times a day for a whole month, you just get sick of it. Mckay is really annoying and only funny 50% of the time. They really over do it with him....sorry I just had to say this.
anyway, sheppard is my favorite on atlantis because he's so down-to-earth, cool headed and real. He's also a bit carefree but at the same time when it's time for business he never lets you down. I like that he likes to be the man for the job unlike o'neil who practically has to be begged or forced into being the man. Of course teyla is kinda hot too (when she has makeup on, lol)...but that's not a good enough reason for me to like her for the sake of the show or over other more interesting characters. It's always nice to watch her though, I think they need to focus more on her people, it's history and her untapped powers. Teal'c was great for an alien, but teyla has so much more potential to make the Atlantis squad drastically different than the SG squads. An alien with powers would go a long way for the atlantis team.
OH, while i'm here, does anyone hate how they keep killing off the doctors on both shows. I really liked beckett and janice....they have never been able to find a good replacement for them, just ain't the same. I'm not looking forward to having carter come to atlantis next season either....I think that will just spark more scenes to include "rodney"/samantha conflicts rather than "rodney"/zelanka (however you spell his name).
2- Can't recall the name, but the fat hologram who want to remain alive, where Carter and Jackson theorised that this hologram is life and they can't just "remove" him if it kill him.
Urgo! Not much of a "character" but oh would I love seeing him again, maybe in the game?
Yeah, I liked Urgo too. For anyone who didn't know, it he was played by Dom De Luise, the director Peter De Luise's Dad.
My favorite in SG-1 is Daniel. Haven't even watched Atlantis yet, but I have the DVDs and plan to see it soon.
Someone mentioned Apophis, I hated that guy. He was the Bobby Brown of the system lords. Anubis makes a much better bad guy IMO.
hmm i'd say my favourite sg1 character would be O'Neill when he was colonel because he was funny didn't really like him when he was a general. when he left i liked dr. Jackson. my favourite sga character would be between Sheppard and Mckay but if i had to choose it would be McKay because i think hes funnier than Sheppard.
1.Daniel Jackson (he's come a long way since the beginning and has shaped into the best SG character of all time)
2.Jack O'Neil (good ole O'Neil. Always the one to bring the jokes and not take things seriously in a humorous way - loved the episode where he was hitting golf balls into the stargate after reliving the same day so many times - Jackson and him are really on the same level)
3.Samantha Carter (Yeah. She still looks good after all this time >.> )
Atlantis
1.Rodney McKay (The hilarious wimpy scientist who is always made fun of and yet takes it on the chin every time - he has been around in the stargate series the longest and deserves most credit out of the rest of the Atlantis group)
2.John Sheppard (Good lead character)
3.Elizabeth Weir (I don't know, but she deserves a vote for having a strong personality as a character)
Original Stargate : Hard to say which i like, cause i like them all. But if i had to choose it would probably between Oneil and Tealc.
Stargate Atlantis : I just recently started watching the series, at first i could not stand (and still having problem) Weir. However my prefered character is of course McKay, that guys just doesnt stop making me laugh.
I have to say, I have loved every single main character on the SG series. It took me some time to love the Atlantis crew but eventually, wow... I can't get enough of it
Compared to most Sci-Fi series, I kinda like the acting. It's never too much while never to dull.
If I was to go with only one character well... I would go with O'neil!
Comments
Thats also why Atlantis is a good show, and not a great show. They don't have O'neil.
Thats also whay SG-1 got cancelled :P

As for atlantis? It would have to be Beckett. He's the scotty of stargate.

Mckay and Teyla are tied in my book as far as Atlantis.

aye what a team they make lol! My favorites as well.
O'neil
Everything Happens For A Reason! "Shadowziel"
SG1: O'Neil no doubt....
SG1 after he left: Daniel
SGA: Gotta go with Sheppard but he's not even close to O'Neil's league.
"A ship-of-war is the best ambassador." - Oliver Cromwell
my favourite character in SG1 is probably Teal'C because he comes up with some random stuff sometimes that's funny!
as for atlantis... probably a cross between Ronin cause he's kick-ass and sheppard* cause he is also funny somewhat!
Mines is O'Neill in SG-1 and when he left Jackson.
In Atlantis its a between Sheppard and Mackay
I'm selling these fine leather jackets.
I have to say, I have loved every single main character on the SG series. It took me some time to love the Atlantis crew but eventually, wow... I can't get enough of it
Compared to most Sci-Fi series, I kinda like the acting. It's never too much while never to dull.
If I was to go with only one character well... I would go with O'neil!
I must say its Teal'c is the bes for SG-1 and O'neill is a good second but for atlantis id say... Shepherd... quite a hard pick in atlantis
an EVE-onlineer amongst others
SG-1 would have to be O'Neill
Atlantis I pick Dr. Mckay
Don't you worry little buddy. You're dealing with a man of honor. However, honor requires a higher percentage of profit
O'neill and Teal'c from SG-1
Ronon from Atlantis
I also like Teyla from ATlantis and Daniel Jackson from SG-1
SG-1: Teal'c
Atlantis: Dr. McKay
I goto say I like Daniel from Sg1 and MacKay from Atlantis.
Daniel should of never left that one season.
