I pick Arthur. Not only was he a huge badass, and slick as hell, but he also generated some pretty good laughs ("Yeah, it's worth a shot"), and he moved from a sort of sidekick character (how I saw him in the beginning) to almost a full-on solo act seamlessly. Next would be Eames, because his role at the end makes me hopeful that if Daniel Craig doesn't do another Bond movie after the whole debacle is over, Tom Hardy would be a damn good replacement.
 
Special mention to Saito, because Ken Watanabe was, as usual, pretty much captivating on screen. I liked all of the characters, but these are my favourites.

It's so hard to choose when everyone gave such fantastic performances, it was between Cobb and Eames and while Cobb was a more interesting character I have a soft spot for Tom Hardy having followed his movies for a while.

The one who's well dressed, slick and speaks in either exposition or one liners.

Tough choice between between Cobb, and Arthur, I ended up choosing Arthur because he is the most badass.

I think Arthur is slightly overrated. Eames and especially Saito were better for me.

Arthur (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) really did it for me he was funny pretty badass and also seemed pretty likeable and also because the low gravity hallway scene was awesome and one of my favorite bits from the movie.

huh, no one voted for Cobb... if I knew that, I'd vote for him. I really liked Cillian Murphy's character, but they're all amazing, especially Arthur

Your not, don't worry. I often have this problem in movies too, not picking up names. However, it didn't hinder my enjoyment.

i had a problem with Ariadne. After her introduction I completely forgot what her name was. Also Mal, for some reason I had no idea what Cobb kept saying. Sounded like Mall which didn't make sense to me since it wounds weird.

Arthur - he was awesome when he finally got to flex his muscles in the big hotel dream sequence and Joseph Gordon Levitt is fast becoming my favourite young actor.

it sounds like Mall but it is just pronounced the same. Mal = Bad in french. another way the names in the movie hinted at the characters' roles. my favorite was Arthor though. The Levitt has been real good lately

Arthur. That changing gravity/zero gravity fight scene was awesome.
