The writers looking for a more equal relationship tend to gravitate toward Spike/Xander
See, I can't see S/X being an equal relationship, either, though I tend to view S/A as being one (at least now, if not in their past dealings).
To me, S/X have such hostility towards one another, canonically speaking, that there's no way that it won't be a destructive, power-over relationship.
And that's why I like S/B on paper, because they can have that Beatrice-and-Benedict relationship (which is a secret kink of mine) that's all push-and-pull and sexual tension and witty repartee and striking sparks from one another. ::sigh::
