I recently finished Bendis' run and I loved how much Pete tried to go to bat for Matt when he was outed.
Specifically when he was at the Bugle and straight up lied to JJJ in a meeting that he had not business being at because he wasn't even working at the Bugle then.
I thought it was so funny and endearing at the same time.
I would love a Spidey & Daredevil book like how Spidey & Deadpool got one.
PS: I really enjoyed Bendis' run but didn't like how it ended, I like contained runs and this felt like a direct tee up for Brubaker. If I didn't already read Brubaker's run I would have been disappointed with the ending; I suppose you can take it as Matt being locked up with his enemies is the logical end for him - but I wanted more closure. Next up I'll be reading End of Days by Bendis and see how that goes.

If you don't mind the classics, then you're in luck. Between 2000-2002, Marvel Knights put out a mini-series & a one-shot with them teaming up...
Daredevil/Spider-Man
Spider-Man/Daredevil

As much as I like that Pete and Matt have each other’s backs I much prefer them separate in their own worlds. I don’t know if I’d like them together in a team up book. They each thrive best in deferent tones with DD being more grounded and Spider-Man being more outlandish and together I think they clash much like Batman and Superman. A guest spot here and there is not only fine it’s welcome like has been the case with Zdarskys run but I’m not one much for a team up book at all. This goes for most other Marvel heroes too. That’s not say that if there was a Spidey/DD comic I wouldn’t give it a chance, however.

I think that's the fun of it, I mean how many times do I gotta see Matt's life implode because of Bullseye or Kingpin or The Hand.
I think a title where both characters benefit would be amazing. Matt can chill out a little bit and see how Pete handles criminals and Pete can learn how to be a little bit more calculating from Matt.
I love Daredevil being dark and brooding as the next guy, but how much dreariness can a reader take?
It would be amazing to see a lighter side of Matt play off of Pete and learn to take wins.
In an early arc in the Marvel Knights run Matt and Pete team up to save a girl and along the way Matt fails in certain respects and sees it as a loss then this exchange happens:
This, I love!
It shows a real community within the heroic family and great character growth.
They can be great together, yes. As a matter of fact, during Waid’s run they had a couple crossovers in more of the lighter tone you suggested and those stories were phenomenal. I like that they can be there for one another. But I have my doubts about a team up comic. As I said, though, I’d definitely give one a chance.

I'd be down for Danny Rand joining Daredevil's supporting cast. Danny works more as an ensemble player than a lead to me. He could be a lighter foil for Matt to bounce off of like Raph and Mikey. .
