Personally, I dislike having to build your characters, gaining experience and upgrades over time. I'd much prefer to be given maximum power at the beginning of the game and fight impossible odds knowing that it's your own skill helping you to win rather than how heavily upgraded you are. About squadmate roles, though, I am concerned about that. I'd like to get to carry over the majority of the squad, with some members leaving, like Zaeed, Jack and Samara (not because I don't like them, but because they seem most likely to leave) and then getting special missions later with them or being able to get them back. Seeing as any squad members can die in ME2 I guess it all depends, but I'm sure many of them will still have major roles if they survived. Think how many people Bioware would upset if Garrus and Tali are demoted in ME3. The final battle will be far more epic if Shepard has all the allies he's ever made fighting by his side.
