I'll go for the Bodyguard: good in a fight, able to talk his way out
(even if only by slotting the right Etiquette chip), smart, and able to
fit into high-end establishments as easily as low-class dives.

>- Playability

Most of them are playable in the right campaign. If I was going into
someone else's game cold, with no knowlege of their style, I'd opt for
the Detective or the Bodyguard: good flexible PCs.

>- Fun

Any character's fun if you play him or her right :)

In the right game, the Gang Member could be real fun. All in-your-face
attitude right up to the point he first tries to drop someone with that
Streetline Special :)

>so what is your favorite character?

Haven't got one. Depends who you're playing with.
