Tara deserved lots better in every aspect of her life. Frankly, the main reason I resurrected her in my stories is because if anybody deserved a second chance, she did. (Too bad she's not fully resurrected, but therin lies disaster, in the Jossverse.)
You pegged both Xander/Anya and Giles/Anya exactly. As for Cordy, you're right -- she'd have never even imagined having any romantic relationship with Giles. And no, nobody really loved Spike -- not the way William wanted someone to.
Finally, someone who GETS Faith/Robin! They're good for each other, and may even admit it someday. I have a feeling he also stayed away from becoming emotionally vested in anyone -- in fact, he spent most of his life dealing with a rather disturbing mother complex. But he understands Faith more than perhaps anyone has other than the Mayor, and if anyone can turn Faith on to a healthy relationship, he can.
Now, *that* was an interesting list!
