I see Faith resolving her parent issues by forming a father-daughter bond with Giles, and I feel as though the "No Future For You" arc and the "Safe" one-shot intended exactly this. Once Faith deals with those problems, she could then have a healthy romantic relationship with someone, but remaining single would be a valid option. With her sex drive, she'd still be getting action regardless.
I'm not sure who she would end up with though, but definitely not Robin and probably not Angel. Robin and his mommy issues don't work out given that Faith isn't exactly maternal, and their prior breakup doesn't help. I ship Angel/Faith as friends, and perhaps temporary bed-buddies, but not long-term.
I'm sure my opinion on Buffy is controversial given the prevalence of Bangels and Spuffies, but I don't see her ending up with either Angel or Spike. I agree with the general idea in "The Girl in Question" that it was time for all three to move on. Angel and Spike will always have a place in Buffy's heart and vice versa, but her relationships need to enhance her, not define and consume her identity. Buffy needs to be whoever she wants to be, Chosen One and all.
