1. Walter. He's one of those guys who makes his CO look good. And having someone to do the administrative crap while he's off playing with cool toys initializing newly discovered Ancient technology or getting the crap kicked out of him training with Teyla and Ronon or playing with Rodney boosting team morale would be awesome. But Walter gets a strange look in his eye when John jokingly suggests a transfer. Besides, Lorne might feel unappreciated if John got someone else to do the paperwork.
2. Sgt. Siler. The scientists on Atlantis have been getting lots of practical training to go with their theoretical degrees, but it'd be nice to have someone who has experience with real-world repairs. Especially when the real world includes unknown contraptions invented by some seriously strange alien ingenuity. And someone who can play through pain would be a real bonus.
3. Teal'c. He and Teyla could bond over bantos rods and kel'no'reem. He and Ronon could engage in contests to see who could go the longest without talking. John and Rodney could try to talk him into taking the role of John Hurt during their reenactment of Alien for the next talent show.
On second thought, that last one might land them in the infirmary.
4. General O'Neill. There are moments, sometimes fleeting, sometimes lasting a small eternity, when he'd give anything in the known universe to not be responsible for the lives and safety of those sheltered in Atlantis. More often, it would just be nice to have someone in a leadership role with a strong expression of the gene to understand the unique pressure of being John Sheppard. In a non-talking, totally manly sort of way, of course.
5. Daniel, partially because a formerly ascended linguistic expert would be enormously helpful to the expedition. But mostly so he could watch Rodney twitch whenever John introduces them as Dr. Rodney McKay, PhD, PhD and Dr. Daniel Jackson, PhD, PhD, PhD. But he has a lot of respect for General O'Neill, and John is a firm believer that guys don't steal another guy's scientist. It's in the bro code. Besides, he has other ways to make Rodney twitch.
Five people from the SGC who John would sometimes like to steal for Atlantis.
