Hmm.

Gail has had-
Brian who she divorced remarried and was murdered
Martin who cheated on her then escaped the county
Brian who went on a murdering spree and tried to murder her two youngest kids and grandchild
Wimpy Joe McIntyre with the drug addiction and debt problem who killed himself accidentally whilst faking his death and then got her locked up for a while for murder
Nigel Havers who fleeced her out of her savings and ruined her relationship with her mum for a while
Michael who burgled her then stole her heart (aww), went off with her mortal enemy then got back with her and promptly carked it

Eileen on the other hand
Tony (pre her time on the street), a dodgy dealer who has been unfairly post death blamed for a murder Gail's daughter in law actually did
Tiny Fireman, who was not a racist, and who was married with a home when he met Eileen. She soon saw to all that
Him out of Cold Feet who I think had a parrot? I can't remember but he was a total loser.
Michael, the husband of her mortal enemy
Pat Phelan, lady-botherer, failed fraudster and unscary hardman who is faking his love for financial gain (good luck Pat)


....I'd say Gail, whereas Eileen will go for anything that takes an interest, Gail has a bad track record with keeping them alive!

On the other hand though Gail has had some happy, successful relationships, for a while at least. Gail and Brian spent a decade together and were happy and in love for most of that time. Same with Martin, Gail spent more than 10 years with him reasonably happy and stable. Eileen however, has she ever had a relationship last more than a few months? Every bloke she's ever been with the relationship has collapsed after a very short space of time. Even her off-screen relationships with the fathers of her children have been implied to have been very brief.

Hillman & Phelan aside I wouldn't say either one had drastically poor taste!!

Gail:
Brian was an immature mummy's boy but nothing worse!!
Martin was a decent bloke & devoted to her but her behaviour as much as anything drove him into the arms of another woman, she was being horrible to him at the time if I recall, though I don't remember the details now!!
Richard was obviously not a great choice!!
Phil was a decent enough bloke but David didn't like him & went all out to destroy the relatoonship!!
Joe again was a decent bloke but suffered depression which led to psychological problems!!
Michael had got himself into a dark place through circumstances but was a fundamentally decent man who served his time & reformed!!


Eileen:
Tony Yeah not a great choice, a complete waster at the time!!
Todd's Dad We know nothing about as far as I know!!
Pat Irish 'charmer' who was actually married!!
Jesse Another mummy's boy who actually thought more of his bloody parrot!!
Paul Decent bloke but with the obvious dsadvantage that he was already married to a woman who half the time didn't even know who he was! Sad s/l but he was a good bloke!!
[b]Michael[b] As above
Phelan Yeah well!!

On balance from that list probably Eileen has the worst taste I guess!!

Eileen also dated Ernest Bishop's killer after his release from prison about 10 years ago. So Eileen's dated two killers (if Phelan can be considered a killer anyway - he left Michael to die) compared to Gail's one.

I would vote for Gail.

I did like when Eileen dated Dennis.

Ah Dennis didn't he cheat on Eileen and leave her for Janice Battersby? Now there's a kick in the teeth...

Richard Hillman was a decent bloke. He just had a funny turn in the end, bless him.
