Now, now, everyone's entitled to their opinion. I personally have no control over my complusion for the tortured thing, no need to get tetchy. I am overwhelmed by Spike lover's here, but I don't dis on him, I give him his props as he thusly deserves. I think Angel's a lot deeper character than you're giving him credit for. I definately reccomend watching all the seasons of Angel before you make a final choice.

You aren't totally alone Gypsy, I will add my voice to our small but happy crowd.
Don't get me wrong, I adore Spike as much as the next non-blind girl with some semblance of humor but… and I may be b*tch slapped for saying this... I personally felt that the Spike that had me in stitches in the early seasons of Buffy got transformed so dramatically that I couldn't continue to watch him in the same way.
That said, I am one of the sad cases without a channel that has screened season five. He may have gone back to being good ol' Will the bloody that I loved to slightly hate.
However, my vote could not and would not change.
Sure, Angel's dark and brooding side is a permanent fixture. But that's his character. Tall dark mystery man with a dark past that he can't forget. Spike is his antithesis bar their shared past.
Guess I'm a sucker for the tortured soul. Plus, you know, the looks. I love Spike but Angel has always been my favourite.

Angel is the best when he's a bad guy either when he was Angelus or in season 2 of angel.

Phi, I'm with you and Gypsylife. It was Angel from the get-go (it doesn't hurt that I prefer brunettes to blondes 
.)
I like Spike, but frankly I found him much more fun being happily evil. Angel I liked either way.

Gota go with Spike (gota support the English guy) But seriously i thought his performances were very good in Angel and in Buffy.

I adore both characters pretty much equally, I guess. They're both intriguing, decent (at the end of the day) and incredibly sexy. If I were Buffy, I'd have trouble choosing, too!
However, in real life, I'm more of a Joe Normal kind of girl. I'm more into the nice, stable men, like Xander, Riley and Wes.

I think they're both awesome characters, one's not better than the other. And as several people have said allready I'm sure, the reason the introduction of Spike was so great in season 5 is because david and james work so great with eachother, and whenever Spike and Angel get into an argument, hilarity ensues. (remembering the astronaut vs. caveman argument lol)
"Haha, mine is an evil laugh."

That was a hilarious argument, I laugh evertime I watch that episode. I wish there could have been another season with those two characters. Hopefully we will get a movie with both of them in it.

Not a big fan of Season 5 personally. And not particualrly a big fan of Spike once he was passed Buffy season 4.
He just hung around like a bad smell, and he'd be put into the most ridiculous of places!
I mean he left sunnydale, then came back, left for LA and then came back, then left once more and went to LA again!
James Marsters is clearly a wonderful actor but the tenuous links they'd employ to keep him around was detrimental to the overall plot. And Angel season 5 suffered through too many faces from the past coming back to make light threats and be beaten.
That said one of the funniest episodes EVER is the one where Angel and Spike go to Italy!!! Absolutely fantastic!!! Trouble is that felt like an entirely different show altogether :(
So to answer the question (sorry) Angel.
