There was originally two more members of the Chaotix - Mighty and Ray appeared in Knuckles' Chaotix on the Genesis, so they aren't just Archie characters, but in recent years Sega has forgotten them. If I could make a slight correction, Ray was never one of the Chaotix until Archie had a say in it. Mighty and Ray both debued in a Japan-only arcade game called SegaSonic the Hedgehog. Mighty was then used as a replacement for Sonic in Knuckles Chaotix, after the game was adapted from the unreleased Sonic Crackers. Sorry if I seem like a know-it-all. I'm just a little nitpicky ^^;

Anyways, my response to this thread is a little complicated. As far as the games go, I dislike just about every character. They're all so underdeveloped, misused, or just down right irritating. In the Archie Comics, the canon characters are some of my favourites, because they're all handled so well. Sonic's actually entertaining, Eggman's actually threatening, Shadow's actually badass, Knuckles isn't an idiot, etc. etc. In the Archie Comics, my least favourite character would either be Saffron, because she's absolutely useless as a character, or Metal Sonic. Yes, my favourite character of the series in general is one of my least favourite in the Archie Comics. Why? Because he's been reduced to nothing more than a fancy looking badnik. Eggman goes through them like they're worthless. I really appreciate the character Shard because he's actually being put to good use. With the recent Sonic Universe Issue 50, it seems like Metal Sonic might be getting some redemption, but he still blew himself up... AGAIN.
