I'm sure this has been done before, but I wanted to hear some perspectives on the subject.
Who's you're favorite boyfriend: Angel, Riley, or Spike? Not just for the usual reasons (i.e., they're all hot 
), but what qualities do you like about them? Feel free to post any personality quirk, scene, or quote you can think of.
P.S. - I haven't finished the series yet, so if it's not too much trouble, could you guys use the spoiler function? Many thanks.

The better boyfriend.
Hmmmm
Well obviously she and Angel share the whole destiny thing. But they share that precisely because they can't really ever be together and be happy. Because if they are "perfectly" happy then he becomes Angelus - yada, yada, yada
Riley would have been my first choice, but he wants Buffy to change. And that is not good so I would have to say Spike
Because Spike loves her. All of her, good and bad and he sticks with her, even when she is treating him like crappola.
So although Angel sacrifices and leaves her for her own good, an Riley is hot and a nice guy, I say Spike.

Um, I have to say Angel. Well, Angel w/o the whole losing the soul issue. With it, I have to say:
Riley. I don't think he wanted Buffy to change, exactly. I think he wanted her to let him in...there's nothing wrong with that. He tried to be there for her, but she wouldn't let him.
Then Spike. She doesn't love him, never did. He was probably the first person she 'needed' though. She finally opened up a little and he was the one there, so he filled the gap.
Buffy deserves the passion of Angel, the normalcy of Riley and the unconditional love of Spike.

My pick is Riley, but before he got all stupid in season 5. Riley gave Buffy that sense of normalcy in her life (despite the fact that he's a demon hunting marine) and that's just something she needed. She could have a normal life with Riley while still doing the whole slayer thing.
I just don't think it could ever end well with Spike or Angel so long as they remain vampires, now if one of them managed to fulfill the shanshu prophecy and become human, then maybe, but then my pick would be Angel. I just don't think it was ever real with Spike.

I'd say Spike and for basically the same reason as FMF. He loves her. Completely, utterly, without any self-protection , or reserve. He sees her for who she is and loves her no matter what. He believes in her and supports her. He lets her be her own person and doesn't need her to ever be anything she isn't and he is willing to be there for her no matter how bad things get. He gives her respect, comfort, passion, love, kindness, and his heart and asks nothing in return....Any woman who turns that down is dumber than a box of rocks!!!

Spike. Because he loves her unconditionally.
Angel is lame. His hair sticks straight up and he's bloody stupid. Buffy's whole, he's-so-tortured crush is so high school that I just want to say, "Oh grow up!" in later seasons.
Riley is Captain Cardboard and entirely too fragile.
Spike. No question.

None of the above.
Buffy and Faith--now there's an awesome couple...
