As i have only read issues 1-2 I probably should have abstained, but I am 99% sure my answer would be the same even after I read the rest of the issues.

I haven't read any of the nuDC Legion issues so my vote is based only on my pre-52 exposure. And it's a vote based purely on their visual too; in particular their intricately designed plastic jacket. Must be hell to draw but it's beautiful to look at.
I actually don't particularly like any of the new Legionnaires at all. But if I had to rank them it would be as follows:
Dragonwing Chemical Kid Comet Queen Glorith Harmonia Li

HAHAHAHA I think Comet Queen winning in the polls says it all.
When Comet Queen is more popular than you, you have problems ...

I haven't even read those!

I actually like Dragonwing. Initially I just liked her visual, but I do like her spirit and powerset.
Surprisingly, her time as a Legionnaire is making me like Comet Queen more. Her second round in the Academy didn't charm me much, but there's something about her mixing it up with the Legionnaires proper that works better for me.

Same here. I like her visual and I like her attitude. I don't think she's necessarily the best *Legionnaire* candidate, but she's definitely the most interesting of the five.
Chemical Kid is next up, then Comet Queen, who, unfortunately, I like even *less* now that we've seen that her origin is the same as Night Girl (infatuated with a Legionnaire, made herself super-powered in an attempt to be a stalker).
Glorith and Harmonia Li are my least favorites, both in personality and powers.

Chemical Kid for me too. It's rare that legacy characters are done well. Probably the strongest argument for Chemical King's early demise was that his powers appeared limited and complicated. It's cool that Levitz would want to revisit this power set. Chemical Kid has a personality that's different enough that he is his own person.
From there:
2) Comet Queen - She's just fun. The Legion needs that levity.
3) Dragonwing -Visually appealing with an attitude, but still learning. Some good story potential.
4) Harmonia - More mature than the rest. I'm anxious to learn more of her story. The concept of a hero out of time also has potential.
5) Glorith - I'm having trouble warming up to her. Possibly because Paul is holding back too much. We really need to learn more about her, and need to get some kind of explanation regarding how she relates to the villain Glorith. There's an elephant in the room. Address it already, or I'm going have a hard time committing to this character.

I hated Harmonia until the latest issue. Finally (!) seeing in action, in uniform, and acting like a Legionnaire did it for me. She's my new fav!

I like Glorith, I'm afraid. I like her look and her potential. I also like the mystery surrounding her; her past, her connection to Mysa, Blok and Harak, and the ones that claim her - which makes her future scary. Her costume has changed to mostly lavendar, like the Gloith of old and her hair could go white at any event or moment.
I like Comet Queen next, then Dragonwing. Harmonia and Chemical Kid are last. The last three have things about them that I like, powerset or looks, but I don't really 'like' them much.

It was always gonna be Comet Queen for me....she is the kind of character that really exemplifies the Legion spirit - her powers are more kooky than straight-up damaging and she's all heart.
Of the others, Chemical Kid/Dragonwing share the next spot, then Harmonia, then Glorith. Harmonia and Glorith are a looong way away from being anywhere near the others though

Comet Queen, if she's really able to travel at light speed through outer space, is kinda/sorta the new Dawnstar of the team. Replace tracking powers with 'make clouds of choking smoke,' and she's got her own unique thing, as well.
