Hm. I guess I always liked the alien GLs better. I didn't have a strong read on Hal until he was already frightfully old & way too lionized by the writers (mid-1980's). He wasn't too insufferable, but the, "Arisia ages herself to sleep with him," arc was a turnoff. Then there was the awful-awful Action Comics Weekly strip & the stripping away of the Corps, which just ended it for me.
