Mostly because I like them, but if they can help me with stuff, that's a bonus!

I don't think you actually CHOOSE friends. You BECOME friends after learning about each other, observing the kind of people you are, and coming to appreciate each other's qualities. On a purely personal level, I don't think differences (tastes, interests, status, etc.) matter as long as you share the same basic values in life. I also think that having a similar sense of humour should not be underestimated as this often shows more than just what jokes you laugh at but how you look at life and whether you are both "on the same wavelength" in terms of communicating.
I would also make a distinction in definition between acquaintances and friends.

I don't choose my friends so much as meet them. I get to know a person and eventually we gel, or we don't it's that simple. A good deal of people seem to choose those they associate with by what they think it will do for them. I don't count this a friendship at all and think of it as morally redundant. To have a friendship is to care about someone because you find value in them as a person, not to use someone's affection as a tool to get what you want. Aquaintance is not the same as friendship.

I choose them because I like them and because they are nice. Never would be that selfish to make a friend for only what they can do for me.

I choose my friends because I like them, I don't choose friends for what they can do for me because that would be using people and I am not a user. =)

Because I like them. I could never be friends with someone I didn't like, however far it might get me in life!
