Rose didn't work well for me at first; my appreciation of her grew with the story, and it was mostly a matter of writing. It wasn't the character so much as her story that attracted me. It was really subtle and beautifully done. I was also not sorry to see her leave; her story felt 'done' to me, very satisfactory in its ending.
I adore Martha, but so far I don't know what her story is. She herself is awesome. I'm hoping for a resolution to her story that I like. As it is, she's - open ended. I really look forward to seeing what she's like in Torchwood.
Donna annoyed me, too. I didn't hate her but when the Doctor invited her to join him in the TARDIS and she said "no", I thought, "Oh, thank goodness, I wouldn't want to have to put up with her for much longer." And now - groan! - she's coming back. I hope the scripts are good and that's she minimally irritating.
I'd love to know Martha in real life. I don't think I'd have anything to say to Rose or Donna - we don't have much in common.
