When I first heard Joss say that Jayne was the Cordelia I also had thoughts that maybe he was more like Spike. I think most all of the comparisons you made of my Jayne characteristics can be applied to Chip-Spike. Once Spike wouldn't give up Dawn's identity over to Glory I think he actually became more trustworthy than Jayne. Jayne would give up River after a few seconds of torture.
Spike can be an idiot but not the clueless lunkhead Jayne can be. If Spike would see a coffin opened to reveal a body (something he's seen far more than Jayne, I'm sure) he might say "What'd you order a dead guy for?" But the delvery would be very different. Spike's would be sarcastic. Jayne meant it.
But yeah, Spike post-chip, pre-soul Spike functions in very similar ways to Jayne.

Damn, I forgot about that one. I love his genuinely regretful expression when he says it.

If Jayne seems like Spike, it's possible that wanting to have sex with both James Marsters and Adam Baldwin, you are subjecting them both to transference and it's that transfered character that makes them seem similar to you rather than the characters created by other authors. HTH

Everyone always says "I'll be in my bunk"... But to me the bestest best Jayne/Adam moment is right before that when Adam looks like he's about to have an aneurism. Cracks me up every time!!!! Wonder what Adam was thinking about on set to get THAT expression...

My favorite is prior to that in the same scene:
Mal: I've given Jayne the job of finding that out.
Jayne: (Draws very large knife) He was non-specific as to how.

Umm... nope. Don't think that applies in my case.

One of the things I regret most about the cancellation is that we didn't get to see where the Jayne/Book relationship went. In the pilot, Jayne menaces Book, who is trying to protect Dobson, who has just shot Kaylee. By War Games, they're workout partners who've clearly bonded through common knowledge and experience, though Book's is not disclosed.
One of my favorite somber bits is where Jayne shows us he clearly knows just who he is, when he says, "My kind of life don't last long, preacher, so I expect I'm invested in makin' good sport of it whilst I can. You gonna read over me when I get taken down, Shepherd?" Jayne clearly is well aware of his own mortality, and what life-span he can expect.
Kinda make me hope he will someday be "St. Jayne." "St. Jayne, it's got a ring to it." Do gunsmiths have a patron saint? And Book tells him that the fact he "once hit a guy in the neck at 500 yards with a bent scope" "will be taken into consideration."

"What month is it?" Jayne, Train Job
"And I'm thinking you weren't burdened with an over-abundance of schooling." Mal, Train Job

Watched War Stories today. I always forget this line, so I always laugh at it.
Upon Wash and Zoe's return to the ship, Zoe hands Simon Mal's wrapped up ear:
Kaylee: What is it?
Simon: It's his ear.
Zoe: We're getting him back.
Jayne: What're we gonna do, clone him?
Legendary.
