I've had very little exposure to the Fawcett heroes (with the obvious exception of the Marvels) so most of my impressions have been formed by their costumes/looks or a line of dialogue here or there.
I always liked the looks of Bulletman and especially Bulletgirl (with those yellow short-shorts) but I don't think I've ever read a story with them in. (I really like their successor Bulleteer too though I guess she's not actually a Fawcett character.)
Ibis the Invincible has a cool name and a somewhat interesting look though I rate Sargon the Sorcerer as my favourite turbanned magician. Still, I was sorry to see him offed in 'Seven Soldiers : Zatanna'. (Though I hear he may've come back in that 'Ibis the Invincible' one-shot.)
Ummmm drawing a blank on who else Fawcett owned...
Was Spy Smasher theirs? He seems interesting though once again I've never read anything with him in. I really like that Gail Simone remembered him enough to use his granddaughter as a villain in 'Birds of Prey' recently though.
And that's about all I can think of. The Fawcett characters are probably DC's most underused property (Marvels excepted again) so I'd like to see someone make them shine sometime.

Spy-Smasher is one of my favorites. Of my personnal top ten 'comics I really believe I could do a brillant job writing', Spy-Smasher is one I really wish I could write.
I like Bullet-Man and Bullet-Girl, but I really love Morrison's Bulleteer.
From a post-DC standpoint, Black Adam is my favorite of all Fawcett characters, mainly because he's had the most exposure and best approach.

Just for name alone, I like Mr. Scarlet and Pinky.
Great link EDE. I like the image of Diamond Jack. There is no description of the character, but the image has him using a ring (a diamond riong maybe?) that shoots out lightning bolts and melts a gun.
