I know Liz was interested in Peter, but they were never a couple.

Mary Jane Watson-Parker

MJ for me, my feelings about Peter's core love interests have always been that Gwen loved Peter and Felicia loves Spidey, but only MJ loves them both (or at least when she's written properly).
I admit I'm a bit biased but I voted for Mary Jane Watson. Largely because that's what I grew up with admittedly.
OMG it's so close... for second place.
Deadpool definitely deadpool
It's Mary Jane.
Always has been.
Cohort Effects. I don't think this survey will be accurate because you're most likely to vote for the one you grew up with or had more exposure to. I grew up with MJ and Peter together and will vote for MJ. However that's biased... does that necessarily mean that Gwen isn't better for Peter? Or if you got into ASM after OMD, then you don't really care about the marriage because you've really only been there for Carly. Does that mean she's better for Peter than MJ? Who can say?
I will say, I think MJ's characterization since the start of BND has been way off. Writers may take on MJ but she's not my MJ right now. Since the marriage dissolved, the Spider office seemingly doesn't seem to know what to do with her.

Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”
I'm a DC-minded person when it comes to aging and advancing...in that you mostly don't age or advance things. Bruce never retires and stays Batman (no legacies). Hal doesn't stay old and bad. Want another Flash or Batman?..there will have to be two Flashes or two Batmen then.
Peter shouldn't much age (where he's at for now is fine) and he doesn't get married ever (except in out of canon or 616 future stories). Peter & MJ date and have troubles here and there...FOREVER (leaving Peter able to date when they break up sometimes). JJJ rides Spider-Man's case, more or less, FOREVER. Peter keeps coming back to the Bugle to work as a photographer...FOREVER. Gwen stays dead and unromanced with Norman FOREVER. Aunt May lives...FOREVER (she stops aging entirely). You keep a core status quo (that you only very temporarily mess with like Death of Superman or Knightfall or maybe Clone Saga).
