I agree with some of the folks here in favor of blank slate Tav because of one reason: there's no way to accommodate for all of the possible backstories people can come up with. There's always going to be someone that feels like none of the possible backgrounds fit their characters.
Also take into account that not everyone starts the game with a backstory for their Tav, some people like, myself, like to discover their characters as the game progresses. Perhaps some of the reactions, check results or how some situations are resolved end up influencing how you see and play your character. You may end up with something totally unexpected.
There is one custom character with a backstory and it's the Dark Urge, they have their own quest with branches and decisions. Some people will like it, some don't, and that's okay.
We have to remember that a videogame will always be more limited than our imagination.
