Rose is very important, but she's so annoying. She's my 2nd least favorite revived Doctor Who companion (least favorite being Donna). Come on! She's also a jerk. Poor Mickey. The whole meta-crisis Doctor and Rose is just awful. And then no one can understand what she's saying when she returns because of her awful annunciation...

Anyhow, Clara rules. She's intelligent and hot (I've always had a thing for Daleks), and she isn't annoying. But really, the reason why I like her is because she's funny. Rose always seems so serious (yes, she isn't as serious as the 9th Doctor, but she still isn't that light-hearted). Clara is a lot happier and funnier.

You can't actually say that one is more important or has saved the Doctor more times. Every companion has some significance and has done something to save the Doctor.

I still think Clara would win, even though you can't really choose. Yes, Rose healed the Doctor after the Time War, but then she broke his hearts when they were separated. So basically, she undid her healing. But Clara saved all 12 doctors (and presumably the next one). Yes, that wouldn't have been possible without Rose saving him before, but you could say that about any previous companion. As for people saying that losing the Doctor is nothing compared to Davros destroying all the universes, well, that's just wrong. You see all those stars blink out when the Great Intelligence messes the Doctor up. Pete's World would be all messed up. The Doctor never would have faked his death and the fabric of reality would decay. Plus Davros would have been able to destroy all the universes, too. As you can see, CLARA WINS!
