Spike is a much more interesting and dynamic character, so, dramatically, it should be him.
This is a pattern with other shows/characters. While Buffy is a great character, she's not my favorite.
In practical terms, JM is also much more cognizant of the show's value, and he obviously cares more than David about the show's fans, so what else can you do???

Joss did say this, but he didn't seem to be totally serious. Someone at the High Stakes party asked him what happened to the Angel crew, and he gave a very tongue-in-cheek answer, saying "Illyria lives, Gunn probably dies, Spike gets his Shanshu, Angel loses an arm but probably lives...." I was at the party, and it was obvious that he was just having a little fun with the fans. He said more seriously that the point of the ending was that the characters go on fighting the good fight, and it doesn't really matter what happens to them, as long as they don't lose the mission.

No way is he more interesting. I'll agree that Angel hasn't been portrayed as that interesting in the last couple of years but his backstory and character are far more complex and layered than Spike's. Far more.
