I love Angel but I can't think of that many stand-out episodes of the show either. Generally, it's just really good overall - and I suppose it's a lot more 'arcy' than Buffy ever was (well, it was until season five anyway).
But my faves are:
In The Dark
Eternity
Five By Five/Sanctuary
Billy
Birthday
Sleep Tight
Fave Buffys:
The Zeppo
Hush
Welcome To The Hellmouth/The Harvest
School Hard
Halloween
Bewitched, Bothered & Bewildered
Homecoming
Band Candy
Lovers' Walk
The Wish
Earshot
Once More, With Feeling
Fave Fireflys:
Shindig
Jaynestown
Out Of Gas
War Stories
Serenity
Our Mrs Reynolds
Book: “A duel?”
Wash: “With swords?”
Simon: “The Captain's a good fighter, he must know how to handle a sword?”
Zoe: “I think he knows which end to hold.”

42 is always a safe answer in the Science Fiction universe. Or should say is the answer, now what was the question?

I'm a huge fan of Buffy and Angel, but I still think almost every episode of Firefly would come out ahead of any Buffy or Angel episode.
It may just be because each individual episode of Firefly gains extra significance due to the limited number we have, though.
In my opinion, War Stories is the best episode of television I've ever seen. I've watched that episode too many times to count.
"No power in the 'verse can stop me." My favorite line/scene ever. (The time when River says it)
Best Buffy/Angel episode would have to be Once More With Feeling.

This is ridiculously difficult and pointless to put in an *order*, but I did it anyway...
1. BTVS - Restless
2. BTVS - The Body
3. BTVS - Hush
4. BTVS - Once More, With Feeling
5. BTVS - The Gift
6. Firefly - Out of Gas
7. Firefly - Serenity
8. Angel - Orpheus
9. Firefly - Objects in Space
10. Angel - Sanctuary/Five by Five
The finest *moment* is the end of Five by Five on Angel.

"The finest *moment* is the end of Five by Five on Angel."
Couldn't agree more. That is the single finest moment in the entire history of television as far as I'm concerned :)
It's kind of hard to isolate 10 episodes. Some are technically better television than others but others have much more rewatchability (if that's a word..)
No order:
Angel - Five By Five/Sanctuary
Angel - Untouched
Angel - Are You Now Or Have You Ever Been?
Angel - Somnambulist
Buffy - Angel
Buffy - Passion
Buffy - I Only Have Eyes For You
Buffy - Becoming
Buffy - Earshot
Firefly - Out Of Gas
Notable mention: Firefly - The Train Job for the inclusion of the immortal line 'Time for some thrilling heroics!'

Yes! Thank you! I've been trying to make this point to so many people for ages but couldn't quite think of what words to use.
Rewatchability? I like it!
Book: “A duel?”
Wash: “With swords?”
Simon: “The Captain's a good fighter, he must know how to handle a sword?”
Zoe: “I think he knows which end to hold.”

Glad I could help :)
Yeah there are some episodes like The Body (which I have only watched once) and Hush which are clearly some of the more technically excellent ones but then there are others like The Wish and Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered which just never get tired.

The Body was an excellent episode, but it's so hard to watch. I prefer the fun episodes!
