This leaves Yuki and Haruhi for me, and my bias towards supporting Yuki has unfortuantly prevented me from fully appreciating Haruhi's own character development. As much as I may adore to ship, I must endevour to attempt to recognize all possibilities, as that will lead to a greater appreciation of the story.
After all, shipping derives from the connecction the audience feels to the character, and their desire for that character's happiness. That is why even though I'd very much like to see Yuki and Kyon together, I can still be quite content with them retaining their close friendship.
Although with the events of the Beta plotline in volume 10, we may see a loss and change of many relationships.

What's funny is that even though Haruhi is my favorite character in the series, I'm still a mild KyonYuki shipper (I say 'mild' because I'm certainly prepared to change my mind if the novels convince me of a different pairing).
Meanwhile, Kogetsu is, IIRC, the complete opposite; a big Yuki fan that ships KyonHaruhi.
I guess that for both Kogetsu and I, we're not focused on "what would make my favorite character happiest?", but rather instead on "which pairing just resonates the best to me?"
For various reasons that I don't want to bog down this thread with, KyonYuki just appeals to me in many ways.
