Well I'll say with slasher flicks it really reduces to whether deep down if you want to root for the bad guy or the good guys. Obnoxious characters are better for the former, worse for the latter. I generally root for the bad guys so I'll take mostly obnoxious casts and enjoy it.

Though I will say even if you wanna root for the bad guys, a mix of both is kinda ideal in a lot of cases. Because inevitably you're going to be stuck with a few main characters that take a bit longer to get axed, and you'd like those to be likable at least to build some suspense. But it really depends on how the film is stylized I think. Even having none is okay sometimes if the pacing is more like a demolition derby than methodical, though. I feel like a few Jason movies fit the bill there at least.
