Doctor Who has a... strange relationship with recurring alien races in general. The two most popular and recurring ones - the Daleks and the Cybermen - both have backstories that make having good guy versions of them really weird to pull off. I mean, Daleks are genetically engineered to be Nazis and Cybermen are dudes with all their emotions taken out.

Most of the other recurring alien races have far fewer stories in general, but on the other hand have a rather more complex portrayal as well. I mean, the Silurians were all direct parallels to the different humans in the story they first appeared in, the Ice Warriors have gone from generic warrior race to twist non-villain to perpetual Empire metaphor, the Zygons got a complete makeover in New Who after one completely evil story in Classic, and even the Sontarans were mostly represented by Strax until last season.

It's a really odd situation in general - these other species ARE more complex, but because the Daleks and the Cybermen show up so much more often they kind of overwhelm the way that recurring aliens are portrayed on the show.
