Not as lopsided as I thought it might be, but Chloe managed to pull down a few votes. I think it might have something to do with being a semi-hot chick (hey, I'd hit it!) who can brandish a machine gun. Plays to a lot of possible fantasy scenarios...

I'd also hit it...especially at the beginning of the season, when she was wearing more makeup and nicer clothes than she had last year 
Marshall can't compete in that area.

So as a viewer who bailed after the dismal Season 2 of 24 (the cheap cliffhanger with the president was the final straw) but have liked Mary Lynn Rajskub in comedy sketch shows and Punch Drunk Love, would seasons 3 and 4 be worth giving another chance just to see her as Chole, or would I be rolling my eyes and tearing my hair out at the plot like I did with much of season 2?
Anyway, I guess my answer would be Marshall right now, by default. The Marshall centric episodes of Alias have been some of my favorite episodes of that show.

I voted for Chloe because she'd have no problem telling co-workers what a horrible job they're doing. Plus, of the two, she's the one I'd most like making a visit to my office.

Marshall hands down. He's not only Chloe's equal as a computer geek, but he could also give Q(Bond, not TNG) a run for his money as far as inventing gadgets. Plus the Alias episodes with him in the field are always classic:

Marshall seems like a much more well rounded character, he's got the technical skills, the ability to make stuff, has been in the field more.
Chloe is a little wishy washy. Granted she's stuck by Jack but she questions everything and is annoying to no end.

For tech support? Marshall? Come On! He is a pretty cool character, but if you need something on the fly Chloe can get it instantaneously. Not only that, she can open a socket and give you a live sat feed directly to your palm in 30 seconds flat. Not only that she doesn't take shit from nobody. "I'm not watching your baby!" Marshall seems to be a push-over(I've only seen season 1).
If I needed a gadget, I would call marshall. If I needed tech support, definitely chloe.

Jack Bristow had to give him better directions the second time around. He basically told him he had to treat it like a soft boiled egg when removing it.
