Whose backstory would I most want to see her in?
Hurley's. I'd love to see her as a gold digger whose plans to bilk Hurley of lots of dough goes seriously south due to his "bad luck."
Jayne, you'll scare the women.
Zoe ,'Bushwhacked'

For some reason, I'd really like to see her in Kate's back story.

in Kate's back story.
Huh. I gotta think about that a little. I got the feeling from what we've seen of Kate on the island, she's not much with making friends with other females. She doesn't find them as useful to her as men, so she doesn't cultivate them. If EC was in her backstory it would have to be as a patsy, IMO. Although, it would be nice if by putting her in Kate's backstory it could show us a different side of Kate than we've seen.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Sail, I sort of get the same feeling you get from Kate. On the other hand, though, we've seen her and Sun interacting as friends, and she did mention (in the second half of the pilot) that she has a friend named Beth (IIRC) who loves Driveshaft, so it wouldn't be out of character to see her with female friends in her past.
I want Emma Caulfield to be Locke's Helen, myself, but I suppose she wouldn't get much screen time...
edited because Emma Caulfield and Anya are, in fact, two separate entities.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Kate strikes me as playing everything close to her chest. Her interactions with Jack and Sawyer strikes me as channelling the impulse to get them close to her chest. Of just about everyone, I think her pre-crash personality is least apparent.
EC could be ... sister/friend/lover/enemy/so many things.

Not just that, but that she doesn't open up easily to anyone, anymore than Sawyer does. I think that game of "I never" was very telling for both of them. It's why we haven't really seen any evidence of female friends other than a brief mention of a female someone in her backstory.
we've seen her and Sun interacting as friends
You can be friendly to someone without being their friend. Not saying she isn't becoming friends with Sun, but that we don't have any real evidence of a friendship there, yet.

I think Sawyer's easier to read, but I don't know if it's acting, writing, directing or what that's keeping Kate vague. Even to those who haven't seen the flashbacks, especially Kate, he's a little transparent.

I'm in the same boat. I want to attribute some of it to the writing, but I'm more tempted to say it's EL's acting. I like her, but I think there's a lot she's got to learn yet.

From TVGuide.com:
Question: OK, since Alias' 90-minute season finale will be on May 25, does that mean Lost's 90-minute finale will be on the same night? — Luis
Ausiello: Actually, Lost's 90-minute season finale has just been expanded to two hours. As a result, it appears J.J. Abrams will have to trim Alias' 90-minute climax back to 60 minutes. Or maybe he'll divide it into two episodes. In any event, getting back to your original question, yes, Lost and Alias will wrap up their respective seasons on May 25.
