I use G&W and pika as my mains. There's no strategic reason to picking pika; he was just fun to play. For a practical secondary, go to http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=157979 and look at G&W's bad matchups. Then pick a character who is good against those bad matchups...MK works, but don't use him since he's gay.

I flat out main G&W. I don't have any serious secondaries, but I've made it a point to be proficient with at least half the cast. Mario deserves the most mention as I seem to keep picking him in friendlies after a few matches with G&W.

For the time being, I use Olimar. G&W owns the air, and Oli owns the ground. There is also the fact that he can out camp anyone except a good Diddy maybe, and the insane grabs. He has the obvious glaring weakness to work around though; recovery.
I've been working on Ice Climbers for some time now, but getting down their chain grabs takes a lot of serious practice and controlling both Nana and Popo has a high learning curve.

If you haven't seen any of Fly Amanita's vids, seriously check them out. Towards the end here he rips out the fastest Bthrow CG I have seen.
Until my Ice Climbers are ready I'm sticking to Olimar and G&W as my go to guys.

I secondary IC's/Falco/Diddy/ and now MK effectivly, though I can play about 15 other characters tournament level as well, I just enjoy those the most :).

Secondary: Lucas and Wolf

I was a Samus main back in the days of Melee so I use Lucas for the projectile effect to settle some of those old urges and Wolf just because I wanted to play him since I found out he was in Brawl.

I consider myself to be a 'main' 3 characters: Falco, D3, and G&W, since I switch up between them often, regardless of who I face. I guess my 'secondary' is G&W, since I don't use him nearly as much as the other two and I tend to only use him in my most feared match-ups (Falco and Ice Climbers). I also like using DK and Snake for the lulz.

G&W = Main.
Ice Climbers + Olimar = Tied for 2nd.
R.O.B. + Wolf = Tied for 3rd.
Yoshi = 4th / In Training.
Move up Yoshi to my 3rd most used character and take Wolf out and you have my character usage.

The Ice Climbers have been easily the toughest to get anywhere with but the very first time I succeeded in chaining my opponent with back to back Bthrows into an USmash from Nana... One of the single greatest moments in my Smash life.

Currently I main G&W and second Falco. I suppose I also second Lucas and even Ness, but I have yet to use Ness in a tournament and have only used Lucas in tournaments sparingly. The latter two haven't been used much as of late, but are there if I need them.
