in terms of actual power, my view stands as the following: Tali: Don't get me wrong, Tali is a cool character in my opinion, but in ME2, I feel she is just seriously lacking in the Fighting versus Organic skills. Sure she's useful versus all mechs, but Loki/Fenrir Mechs hardly put the "AHHHH OH NO! MECHA ASSAULT!!!" fear in me compared to Geth. The only mech I find my self being worried about of the Security bots is the YMIR mech, and massed concentrated fire between Adrenaline Rush, Disruptor/Warp Ammo, Overloads and Warp put those things down fast enough.

Jacob is alright, like him character wise, but by half way through the game, I start feeling Pull, Barrier, and a Shotgun in Incendiary Ammo is hardly enough firepower, especially as enemy defenses get better.

Garrus and Thane rank high up on my list. Both feature a good mix of Straight up weapon combat skills, and Additonal skills, and can fight efficiently at all 3 range groups. In either case, I've yet to go on a mission and have a "I should have selected someone else" momment.

Miranda Is also one of my favorite squad member choices. What more can you ask for of someone when they have both Overload AND Warp. Shields, barriers and Armor are of no issue to her, and she's got weapons to back her up in both cases, with SMGs for the Shield/Barrier, and Pistols for Armor. And for a bit of satisfactions seeing an enemy get slammed is always fun. Sure she lacks ammo powers... but that's nothing Squad Warp Ammo can't fix. Plus as a Paragon Shepperd, there is nothing more fun than watching her making the Illusive man's day even worse at the end of the game.

Kasumi ranks high up as well. Flash Bang Grenades and her stealth attack make's sure to prove that she is a glass cannon who can dish it out and help your squad immensely.

The rest rank average for me.
