Personally I prefer Clare Grogan's Kochanski, but that's mainly because I like her accent, heh.

Whenever I write Kochanski, she's a bizzare amalgam of Clare and Chloe in my head. Like, she sorta looks like Chloe but she talkes like Clare. And, you know, actually has a backbone and doesn't whine like a little bitch.

It is not a BIG shocker if I say that I voted 'I can't stand Kochanski at all in either incarnation' in both cases, right? :P

I prefer Claire!Kochanski best ("S'Claire." - Craig), but that's mainly because a) I have a soft spot for 80s 'Dwarf, and b) I've always had a great big girlcrush on her.

I was hoping that Doug was going to write VII Kochanski as she was in The Last Human because she didn't seem whiney at all there. Don't know what happened between the book and TV sereis.
Chloe's lovely but she had a lot to live up to!

"Big-ass plot hole for BITR, for me - C.P.'s Kochanski should have been resurrected along with the rest of the crew. That could have been addressed with even just an offhand line, but it wasn't."

That annoys me too. She's supposed to be important to Lister, so it seems strange that we never hear him talk about her or anything. He spends more time with Alternate!Kochanski than with His!Kochanski. Then again, RD isn't renowned for its continuity is it?

Personally I prefer Clare Grogan's Kochanski to Chloe Annett's because she seems more.. Nicer? Funnier? I'm not really sure, she just seems more lovable. Although we don't really see enough of her for me to like her anywhere near as much as the boys. With Chloe Annett's Kochanski she is a bit whiny and uptight in VII. But in VIII I found that I liked her more. The "have a fantastic period" thing and Archie were so funny.. I think in VIII you could tell Chloe was more confident.

As far as the love interest thing goes I prefer Lister with CG's Kochanski simply because a)I think Alternate!Kochanski should be paired with Holo!Lister and b)Alternate!Kochanski is his mum and I don't do incest.

I like version one Kotchanski. I just don't like Chloe's Kotchanski, but that may be because I don't really like the last two seasons. Oh yes, and AU Kotchanski is Lister's MUM. (But then again, Lister is his own dad.)

I also don't understand that whole little bit about AU Lister being gay and yet breaking up with AU Kotchanski.
