Does it matter who goes with Salarians?

As you explore the base on Virmire, you'll have to send either Ashley or Kaiden to work with some Salarians led by Captain Kirrahe. This choice doesn't matter too much, but if one of them is a core member of your squad, gameplay-wise, do not send them, as you won't be able to bring them with you.

The game doesn't swap in different party members for you to choose between, and they'll be the only ones who can be assigned to arm the bomb and fight alongside Captain Kirrahe. To that end, you should bring whichever party you're most comfortable with.

Who should I sacrifice Ashley or Kaiden?

It all depends what you would like your setup to be, although Kaidan with his Biotics seem like a better choice in regards to practical uses. On the other hand, Ashley is way easier to increase your bond with, since she is much more easy-going and can get along with you really well.

Should I save or sacrifice the council?

Weighing the pros and cons, it's best to save the Citadel Council at the end of Mass Effect 1. Whilst having the Destiny Ascension as a war asset is worth slightly less compared to the fully stocked Alliance fleets (70 vs. 100), Shephard will have an easier time throughout the trilogy by sparing the alien leadership.

Can I do Virmire before Noveria?

For the sake of my own sanity it's always Therum, Feros, a ton of side missions, Noveria, Virmire, Illos. Obviously you can do Noveria first but you shouldn't do that unless you hate yourself :) I actually use the same order, although some side missions aren't available until you've done a certain mission.

  • Find Liara T'Soni: head to Therum in the Knossos System, Artemis Tau Cluster. ...
  • Citadel: side quests mop-up. ...
  • Asteroid X57: Bring Down the Sky: this is DLC, but it slots better into the earlier part of the story.
