Well the fanbase seems to like Kikyo more than Kagome, but to be honest I can't get myself to like Kikyo, not for one bit, hence the "IMO" part. In fact, Kikyo coming back is the reason for all of this angst, that if this series god rid of, it would be so much better as an adventure-packed anime. I don't care if Kikyo came back as a vengeful ghost with very few emotions, she was still a flat character that seriously hindered the progress of the series. But I wouldn't be fair attacking Kikyo, Inuyasha himself is such a willy-nilly that he can't make up his mind between the two that it pisses me off.
I seriously regret watching those 135 + 4 movies of Inuyasha... biggest waste of time if anything.
