If you ask me Squall pulled off what Cloud couldn't even get close too.
I'd have to disagree, Squall was unnervingly similair to Cloud in many aspects, and in my opinion lost some of the qualities that I liked about Cloud. Saying Cloud doesn't have a proper personality is not true, he was mentally unstable (the fact that the 'clone' story may not have been revealed at that time is irrelevant as it happened before the events of FF7 started). I generally found Cloud more sympathetic than Squall, and while we see more into Squalls feelings, the fact that the once cold hearted mercenary turned hero had been used in the previous game made Squall far less special.

As for Vaan, it's hard to compare him to any main character at the moment. He is described as more of an outgoing character, but he seems more adventurous than Tidus. Hopefully he will be his own character rather than a redo of an older one.
