Buffy all the way for me - although Angel definitely had some strong points, and I really like the role Faith plays in it, also CONNOR and FRED and LILAH, who are awesome...I don't think that it was as sustained or as coherent as Buffy. The characters in Buffy were just a lot more themselves throughout the series - pretending that seasons 6 and 7 didn't exist - the amount of demonic possession/sudden power-ups/hallucinations and all round crazy on Angel, and especially the number of cast members who got killed off, made it much harder for me to keep an emotional connection with the show. Plus, the amount of episodes where something epic happened, and it was all a dream, or erased form the timestream or whatever, really annoyed me - weirdly enough, I'm sort of taking the opposite opinion in that individual episodes were great, but Buffy had a better overall storyline. And that's my long-winded opinion on the matter!
