My fav is probably “I’LL SHOW YOU WHAT A BADASS IS!”

So far I have 3 of the 6 at 72+, being Sal and Axton and Maya. Just started giving a hoot about Sal a week or two ago. Axton was my first character, and forst to 72, and forst to solo a raid boss, and first to make a successful run on the Peak. Maya has my most hours BY FAR; I have two OP8 sirens right now, the newer having progressed completely solo from start to OP8. I have instances of the other three as well, and I think Zer0 is the only one not currently in UVHM.
Salvador is by far most effective. Grog/Harold abuse, heavy investment in Rampage tree, and he just destroys all hopes and dreams before him. I’ve never experienced anything like this in any game since Tecmo Super Bowl (Bo Jackson was friggin’ unstoppable).
But Maya has been more fun, honestly. Part of it is that she can be quite pwerful at times, but more importantly she also can be a challenge. She basically loses her best DPS skills against raid bosses, as well as some of her great healing skills. Yet she’s still a beast. Abusing Fleet with a Rough Rider and Breakneck Banshee, she can haul so much tail across the map. Just so fun!
But to be fair, I still have 3 more to finish up to level cap. So my opinion may change with time.

This is true, although she can use the Grog spectacularly well (with a Phaselock, especially with Cloud Kill) to regen health instantly, and is very decent with recharging the Bee, so fights like Terra and Hyperius go well… I find she supports herself raiding better than the rest, although putting out the damage isn’t necessarily as easy.
Not trying to hash out what I’m sure has already been debated by better players than myself, just saying that I actually feel comfortable doing a lot of raids with her! She was my first character - I guess I went for the girl, heh - and I’m completely in love with her on both this thread’s counts.

Totally agreed. She’s fun because she’s different. Sal can just turn up the gunzerking to stoopit levels and overpower raids. Money Shot, chained via Inconceivable? No kill skills there, and they work regardless of his action skill. Maya has no such luck.
She’s fun because she has a fun set of challenges to overcome, and a uniquely helpful skillset to get through.
And she’s bae.

I’ll give you the in-game time of my 6 main characters to demonstrate:
Maya - 16 days
Everyone else - 3 to 4 days
Not including deleted characters like my one-life attempts, most of which were roughly another day, all on Maya. So Maya has an easy 5x more playtime than any other character. She was the first I played, and I still find the combat loop intoxicating. All my characters are OP8 with the exception of Zer0.

As far as fun goes, I enjoy Maya more than anyone. I just love the variety of weapons and builds she can use. Phase lock is probably my favorite action skill to use because it lets you have so much control. Throw on a quasar and mobs won’t even get the chance to attack because you’ll be throwing them around constantly.
The ease of use and sheer broken dps of Salvador makes him my deadliest by far. I use him just for farming because rocket jumping is very cool and very fast.

Update! I’ve started playing Zer0 ( now level 24 ) and can now safely update my characters’ standings:
Maya - top spot for efficiency
Maya, Krieg (level dependent), Gaige, Sal (build dependent) and Zer0 - all equally fun
Axton still requires more time to decide.

The answer to both is Zer0
Krieg is damn close though
