1. Anya/Xander - yes, it was quite ugly there in S6, but I actually think they had more potential than the show allowed. I really liked seeing Xander's arc from taking Anya for granted to genuinely loving her, and I loved Anya's arc of "fucking relationships, how do they work?"
2. Anya/Spike - they really have more in common than anyone else, and I adore the little moments like their commiseration in WTWTA that draw on that.
3. Anya/Willow - because that spell did get kinda sexy. :) Plus, given how many decades Anya spent believing men were all jerks who deserved punishment, I would not have been the least surprised if she decided to give women a go. It would've been a very different Anya arc, but also quite interesting, I think.

And Anya and Spike had wonderful chemistry together, although I think I like them better as friends than in a shippy sense.
