Metaknight is by far my best character. I have won endless matches with him against countless friends. It doesn't seem like a lot of people like to play him, which kinda amazes me because he can be extremely lethal if you know how to use him.
Ike is definitely tied to a close second, despite his many disadvantages. It's a matter of knowing what move to use at the right time, because time is completely against Ike.
Game & Watch is third place, it helps to have past experience with him.
My other regulars include King Dedede, Luigi and Wolf. That said, many characters have weaknesses, but I think its up to the competence of the player to overcome these weaknesses (or imbalances) and try to make the character as strong as possible.
For example, King Dedede is very slow with low reflex but his attacks are extremely powerful. Since many characters in Brawl have fast reflex, Dedede could be seen as a disadvantage, but in reality his strength is his ability to quickly tally up the damage percentage on his enemies. Once you figure out which of his moves can do this, you can use one of his powerful moves like his forward A smash, which can easily send an opponent flying. He has a great ability to cover all sides of him with his hammer including above, and also his up + B move is very useful to get out of tight situations. But I think what it comes down to is figuring out how to cover a character's disadvantages by finding and correctly utilizing its advantages. Not all characters work offensively.
I do have one gripe I can think of, and that's making Fox/Falco/Wolf have the same Final Smash. One word: cheap. Even if its powerful, they could've made Fox's final smash having him pilot an arwing and shooting the other players.
