Never cared for IchigoxRukia. The 2 of them are too alike. It makes them great as best friends but would only cause friction in a more intimate setting because they are both proud and argumentative. Rukia has also been more one of the guys than a potential love interest. Admittedly they are the most important characters in the series and a lot revolves around their unique relationship but they aren't romantic to each other in the least. I also didn't like how if they were to be together that it would require that either of them would have to leave their life behind, ichigo and his family, Rukia and her duties and goals, in order for them to be together.
I preferred IchigoxOrihime more because of how different they were. Orihime has a personality that could crack Ichigo's tough exterior at times and make him smile more. On a practical said, unlike with the Narusaku fans of Naruto who cling to parallels between Narusaku and Naruto's parents, Ichigo actually does idolize his mother so finding someone who is actually very similar to her makes a lot more sense. He is also much more protective of Orihime than anyone else. He doesn't give voice to any feelings but his actions were a bit more telling.
