For me, as far as Spuffy goes, I'm not really interested in it. I'm far too cynical of Joss to believe he isn't just baiting fans to get them to read before spitting on them. 34-36 were just such an over-the-top smack in the face that I can't buy anything good coming out of it. I find the idea of Buffy chasing after him completely unappealing.
Unlike others, I do think Spike is going to get screwed with in S9. He'll do something. Maybe not Dawn or attack Buffy, but he'll do something.
I can't really ship them anyway. I don't know who that Buffy was in S8. Just so laughably OOC, I don't even know. It's like a bashfic characterization and the writers wanted us to like that she was getting trashed. Until there's an explanation for her behavior, I don't think I can ship her with anyone.

Not that I consider the comics canon or anything.
