I happen to think CB has chemistry with EVERYONE on the show (hence, why I like all of her pairings). Heck, I like her with Sheppard and Jack and they don't even share scenes

I guess I just like her chemistry with BB the best 
I think DV was the obvious route for TPTB to go because A) That was part of the reason why they brought her back and B) It made the most sense. Like I said, Cam was out of the running because he was too new (and because of "Farscape") and I'm not sure if Vala/Teal'c was even an option the writers considered. I love DV but I am fully capable of seeing that the writers relied too heavily on them to the point where Vala was seperated from the team. Not until TQ2 do I feel that she actually became a part of SG-1, rather than just Daniel's friend/love/sparring partner. I think the increased interactions with Teal'c & Sam (in addition to her scenes with Cam) really helped that along.
I like ships as much as the next person, but I don't want them to take over the show....especially if the show is supposed to be about a team. There was no way that I felt the first 6 episodes, as enjoyable as I found them, were team-centric. If it wasn't focused on the character of Cam, it was focused on DV. I'm glad to see that the writers remedied that somewhat this season and allowed all of the characters to interact to varying degrees with each other. One of the things I enjoy most about Cam/Vala scenes is that they aren't these big, grand scenes....just little moments of care and concern, of friendship.

). I didn't want Vala to just be defined as a character by her scenes/interaction with Daniel. I wanted to see her hold her own with the whole team. I was glad that she had some more scenes with Sam, Teal'c and Cam of course in the second half of the season. Of course I can't totally agree that ALL of the charaters got to interact much with each other, but I think that's for another thread
And I agree that I do love the nice little moments of care and concern between Cam and Vala
