But are we looking for the better girlfriend for Angel as far as what's best for him, or as far as what's best for us, the audience? Not necessarily the same thing!
Well, it depends on how the reader views the question. You can vote for both if you like, which relationship is better to watch and which girl has a healthier affect on him. Personally, I love Angel and Cordelia, even though they aren't really together at any point, but I think Nina would have had a more postive affect on him if he hadn't of sent her away.
If I was a shipper (which I'm not) I'd ship Buffy/Angel as the classic star-crossed romance that was great angsty doom; from a standpoint of fun to watch I prefer Cordy; from a standpoint of who would have been best for Angel in the long run, I'd go for Nina.
Of course, in the world of fanfiction Nina doesn't have to stay sent away ... if I can put Angel, Spike, Riley and the Immortal in the same room for a story, who's to say I won't have Nina walking back into Angel's life someday? That's the fun.
Actually, I kinda like Angel and Darla now that I think about it. I love Darla, we so did not see enough of her in Buffy, but I love Angel Darla. Still...I love Cordy/Angel.
