five, six and seven were all noteworthy. I liked him in five because it was a turning point for his character. He became kinder and more compassionate while still holding onto enough punk ass to amuse you.
In six, I loved him for being the only one that saw what the rest of the scoobies did by brining buffy back. And he was the only one that was really there for her. He was the truly selfless one in that season.
In seven, because he was now one of the good guys, even when he went bad. You just couldn't help but to love him because he had changed so completely from early era spike.
Season 5 was my choice. It felt like the first time we really got a focus on his character and developing him. It made a nice change after season 4 had him as mostly comic relief only. Season 5 also saw Spike interacting with the scoobies more towards the end, and his sweet outsider bonding with Dawn. It felt like the season full of possibilities and redemption
I just loved James getting the chance for intense acting in episodes like Crush when he's torn between Buffy and Dru, and there's that heartbreaking look at the door.
And of course FFL was the greatest Spike episode they ever did
