Sci-Fi Wire posted 13 Kickass Buffy moments but the ones they picked sucked (or at least, where not the awesomest moments Buffy has to offer), so I'm redoing their list for them. Because I'm nice like that.
These are just in the order that they occurred to me.
1.) Giles kills Ben.
2.) Buffy and the First Slayer fight in the desert in Restless.
3.) Cordelia's epic verbal smackdown of Buffy in the first episode of the second season. (I spent the entirely of OoTP wishing someone would give that talk to Harry).
4.) Giles and Buffy's talk where she tells him about losing her virginity.
5.) Fool for Love.
6.) Buffy smashes the Master's bones.
7.) Willow's slow, destructive walk through The Magic Box after Tara's death.
8.) Faith throws herself off a building to screw Buffy over.
9.) Faith's dreams in season 4.
10.) Faith and Buffy's fight in 'This Year's Girl'
11.) Xander's 'start with me. I've earned it.' in the end of season 6.
12.) The girl playing baseball who smiled in the end of season seven.
13.) Angel bites Buffy in the end of season three.

And I like that Faith actually brought it up - clearly she has spent a great amount of time mulling over what her life would have been like if Giles had been her watcher.
Which, actually, is an AU I would like to read. Although I'm not terribly sure anything would be different. But maybe. Giles was Ripper at one point.

I'd like to think things WOULD have been a little different for Faith. I mean yeah, she kinda had that rebel-the-system streak in her from the get go, but I think Giles could have handled her and curbed that. Or redirect it into a more proactive use. Just look what he did with Buffy.
Basically, Wesley was nice to look at but he was entirely too green to be a Watcher, and certainly not for someone like Faith.

Wesley was FAR too green and naive to help Faith. Giles or (in what would be an interesting AU) older!Wes, would have much better luck.
