Like:
+ Impis (fast, great to counter horse archers)
+ Redcoats (well, the vanilla version - Warlords version is mediocre)
Dislike:
- Panzer (comes too late and bonus should be +1 speed to make it worthwhile)
- Gallic warrior (mostly useless and the unit looks ugly. Celts used swords and spears, where does this silly axe thing come from?)

Dislike:
- Gallic warrior (useless, too weak against other melee units)
- Musketeers (the worst UU, were they drunken when they make this UU ?)

No surprises with the Praets but I'm surprised the Quechua is taking such a kicking. I used to think that any ancient era UU was a waste of time, especially one based on warriors as I'd always waited for at least catapults before going off to have a pop at anyone. Quechuas changed all that for me and helped me get my first Noble conquest victory.
On the subject of Praets and Quechuas, I recently played a MP game against a friend. Duel size map, just the two of us, we were both set with random civs until the very last minute when he changed to be Rome. I gave him some grief for picking Rome just for Praets and he laughs it off thinking he's going to give me one almighty pasting.
Well, you can guess what happens next. I end up Incas. Spam build Quechua. Fail to take Rome but do managed to completely block off his city. Therefore no growth, no chance to link up resources, no chance to do anything. All of his sorties out consist of archers and they run into stacks of fortified Quechuas in woodland. No contest there. By the time he's finally managed to build a Galley and Settler to take the sea route out I've got stacks of Horse Archers on route to burn Rome to the ground. He called me a lot of very nasty names.
Final score: Quechuas 1, Praets 0

+ fast workers, quechas
- Praetorian, camel archer
- Praetorian, camel archer
+ Cossack - I love waging war with Cavalry in the mid game, and these make it all the sweeter.
+ Fast Worker - I agree that they are not uber-powerful, but the thing is they are the only UU that is useful for the entire game.
- Musketeer - That extra movement point is really useful for a unit that sits fortified in a city.
- War Chariot - Just never seem to be useful.
(Edit: I don't really understand how the elimination thing works. If my -ve units have been eliminated then I vote for the Hwatcha and the skirmisher as my -ve votes)

2nd time around for me
+ Quechas (desperately trying to keep them in the game)
+ Redcoats (ditto: what is wrong with you people? )
- Camel Archer (not bad if you don't have horses or iron, useless otherwise)
- Keshik (I'm sure they're great if you know how to use them: I don't and they get slaughtered)
