Also Rose persuaded Donna to reset the timeline in Turn Left if she hadn't have done that then The Doctor would be dead and the world would be a disaster. Rose was indirectly responsible for The Doctor meeting Clara who reversed the damage to the Doctor's time stream. Finally The Doctor has never cared about any companion as much as he cared for Rose as he reciprocated her love for him which hasn't been the case with any other companion for example Martha left The Doctor because she loved him but he didn't love her back. This was my reason for voting Rose but then I thought about Clara's achievments. Clara brought The Eleventh Doctor out of retirement, destroyed the Old God saving the people of Akhaten, brought helped the Doctor escape the Pocket universe, stopped Mrs Gillyflower from launching the rocket load with venom, led the fight against the Cybermen, reversed the damage done to the Doctor's time stream by the Great Intelligence, saved every single incarnation of The Doctor, she was the reason that The Doctor changed the outcome of the Time War, she saved the Doctor's life on Trenzalore by pleading with the Time Lords to grant him a new regeneration cycle, helped the Doctor recover from his regeneration and made the Doctor realise how to save everyone when they were inside a Dalek. This is why I think Clara is The Doctor's most important companion.
