Everything Vllad said. The doctor on Voyager was the only thing keeping me watching that show as long as I did. 7 was not only hot, but also interesting as a character. Kinda like Data, any character coming to grips with humanity can be interesting, as long as they don't go overboard with it (which I think they did with Data). Come to think of it, that's part of why Worf can be interesting -- not so much his coming to grips with his humanity, but coming to grips with humans and their ridiculous habit of not wanting to run in and kill everyone with a batliff.
Garrick and Quark were great too. Odo was annoying.
SG characters tended to be pretty good as well. Except for what's-her-face, the leader of the Atlantis group. I was pretty happy when they replaced her with the chick from SG-1. Although I thought Shepard was a little too unmilitary for an otherwise fairly military show ("Oh, let's just put this guy in charge over there. Oh, sure, he's kind of a loose cannon, can't seem to keep his hair or uniform in regulation and likes to mouth off to superiors but I'm sure he'll be fine out there leading our most important military operation ever.")
Although for interesting characters, I'd say nobody beats Joss Whedon. I think I like just about every character he came up with in Buffy, Angel and Firefly. Even the bad guys made for good characters. I'm about to start watching Dollhouse now - we'll see if that trend continues.
