I so agree that "Smashed" has the hottest scene ever. I still get all tingly inside when I watch it. And I love Once More, With Feeling. But I love Buffy most for its depth and creativity, and with depth it is I must go for the best episodes ever:
1) Dead Things (season 6)
2) Passion (season 2)
3) The Body (season 5)
4) Hush (season 4)
5) Tabula Rasa (season 6)

I tend to make a distinction between favorite and best...not sure what the best episode is, but my favorite will always be "The Zeppo".

And also some terrific moments with Xander and Giles with cave-girl Buffy up in her dorm. I don't remember exact quotes, but something about "don't make cave-Buffy angry" and such.

I would have to say that the last ep of season 2 is my favorite.
Seasons 6, 2 then 3 are my favorite seasons.
And I just love when Buffy obtains the ability to read minds and says something to her mom about Joyce having had sex with Giles on the hood of a car--twice!?! during previous episode "Band Candy." And when she makes Giles walk into that tree at the end! Priceless!
Also when Joyce and Spike are sitting in the Summers living room at the end of season 2 and Joyce asks him "Do I know you?" and Spike reminds her that she hit him with the axe and said "Get the hell away from my daughter."
And in Hush, when Xander answers the phone!! HI-larious!
And when Spike tells Riley that he's "...just a friend of Xander's here..." not Hostile 17.
Bonus: Favorite episode of Angel was when he became human and was able to spend the day with Buffy.

ohhh, I _LOVE_ all the scenes with Joyce and Spike, it's so nice to see someone talking to Spike like he was a normal person. he adores her for it and he's loyal to the end because of it. he is a weird vampire. just think of the scene in S3 where Spike was chatting with Joyce about Dru leaving him and Angel wants to save Joyce from the evil vampire but she wouldn't invite him in because she hates Angel and actually trusts Spike.
and when you mentioned Spike and Xander being 'friends' I spontanously thought of "Triangle" the S5 EP with Olaf the troll. Spike and Xander ran into each other at The Bronze just as Olaf showed up. Xander asked if he should go get Buffy or maybe Spike could fight the troll. Spike's reply was: "I could but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much." in the end he helps save the victims and doesn't even lick off their blood for which Buffy won't give him any credit cause she finds him "disgusting". makes you feel a bit sorry for the not-quite-so-evil vamp in love with the slayer.

I have to add that "Beer Bad" actually got better every time I watched it. at first try I really hated it (see my message above) but after seeing it three times I kinda like it now. the "boy smells good" scene is perfect. as is the end.
whereas Once More With Feeling doesn't seem to get any better for me. I watched it twice more just to be sure. the music is awful and gets on my nerves every time I hear it. there are two songs that I like "Rest in Peace" and "Standing" all the rest are utter crap for my ears. but that's just a matter of taste of course. I'm just terribly sorry that I can't seem to enjoy it just because the music is so against my taste. I love all the rest about the EP just fine. and I thought I had a rather broad music taste. apart from country, jazz and rap and exactly this kind of boring lalala music I really don't have any styles I don't like and I always seem to make exceptions for some songs that are of a style I normally don't like but are good nonetheless. maybe I watch it a few times more and see if I can get used to it but then again maybe I'm the only Buffy fan worldwide that just doesn't like OMWF.

I thought OMWF was great from the 1st note and also own the cd! I guess as I have aged (40&1/2) my tastes have broadend and relaxed. I used to be into ONLY heavy metal, all else sucked, IMO. Thank goodness I have grown or I would have missed out on sooo much music.
The relationship between Joyce and Spike was so funny.
I was stunned when Buffy and Spike got together sexually, after him being all evil and everything. I never really accepted the relationship but was glad when she finally began treating him as a man, rather than just punching or f**king him.
Beer Bad was never my favorite, but I totally enjoyed Parker getting his just reward. And also Willow's leading him on and then calling him a hypocrite.
I have a friend who is just now starting to watch Buffy re-runs on FX and he keeps calling me wanting to know what Dawn really is and who the heck is Adam and why is Willow a lesbian when she was in love with Oz, etc. It's fun to give these convoluted answers trying to explain everything!
