1.  Ben Linus

2.  John Locke

3.  Hurley

4.  Desmond

5.  Claire

6.  Sun

7.  Jack Sheppard

8.  Sawyer

9.  Juliet

10.  Kate

Answer 2

I think Ben is the center of all that is going on on the island beside jacob. Ben has the knowledge of the island then jack and john because jack is a pawn and john is the next leader to be. juliete only because she is ben's love intrest then hurly because of his ability to see dead people he saw jacob, sun because she has or will have a connection to widmore she was seen talking to him at the end of season. claire because she is jacks sister and her baby is aaron jack has been told not to raise him by hurleys invisible friends. sawyer because he is eye candy for women like me and that is the Only reason he is on that show..just eye candy and thats good enough for me!  desmond I am not sure how he will figure into all of this just yet. he is not among the losties anymore but because he is the fiancee of penny widmore I suspect he will show up again and have a significant part to play. you left out some important key players...richard, and the girl I forget her name she has red hair she may be ben's old girlfriend. and there are still other key players such as faraday.  

Answer 3

i'd say its locke, ben and jack tied for the top 3, then kate, sawyer and hurley tied for the next 3, then sayid and juliet, then desmond, then the rest. locke seemed to be growing in importance towards the end of last season but then he faded. personally, i think hes the best character but he always has one good season then one bad season...it seems like the writers dont know what to do with him when he isnt being badass
