As I am more partial to brunettes (sorry you look blonde in your photo) I prefer Betty. Didn't one of them have an important father? Maybe that was the one that Archie should have set his sights on.
I think Betty. Shes the more down to Earth, sweet one right? It's just like the Ginger or Mary Ann question, I like Mary Ann more. To me a better example which no one ever asks is Jennifer or Bailey from WKRP and in a heartbeat I liked Bailey more. She was so cute and sweet.
For what it's worth, I never read Archie.
I like Betty as the blonde girl next door type. She is certainly not dumb and has a great time being part of the gang. Veronica is the rich chick, arrogant and yet has a soft spot for Archie. Archie actually proposes to Veronica (an imaginary tale) in Archie #600 -- you might check my review: http://lunch.com/t/4sk0
