Oh yes, season 2 rocks when the Angelus arc starts, so... Surprise and up. I kinda think season 1 and the first half of season 2 are pretty similar in a way. More MotW than actual story prograssion, which is probably what they wanted anyway. And then Angelus and then it became more. They kept on having fillers through out but you can definitely feel the story progress after that.
I'll always think of season 4 as the odd one out just because of the whole Initiative thing. Like, here, take this and ask no question. I get that it's a new school, a new era, a new everything but suddenly these guys just show up and they look to have been there from the beginning and it's just... weird. So, for me, it's hard to choose eps from that season, aside from the obvious (where Hush comes in, because it's not too Initiative related and more MotW).
Suggesting season 2 as a starter point, especially with the Angelus arc is a little bit odd, even though I did put that in my suggestion, because at that point, the characters are all settled in who they are and what their relationship with each other is and it would just feel weird to get into something that's actually breaking without the viewer knowing anything... probably a reason why I added Angel from season 1. With Buffy/Angel, it's hard to pinpoint because it's little details here and there from almost every episodes that led them to Surprise.
Anyway, the best is to put in some fillers through the story arc to try and see if new peeps would enjoy those too. Which ones are the hardest to pinpoint because of opinions and such.

Bah, I'm rambling now.
