Kinda random, but this poll doesn't include different clan problems, so forget boundaries!

I don't really ship her with anyone tbh. People are saying Shrewpaw but I disagree on the terms that she only had a few interations with him, one of which he completely dismissed a very important dream she had mentioned to him. You know, the one to help the cats that were trapped? Yeah...

I honestly don't really like any of these.
I don't even need to say anything about BrambleSquirrel. I find it weird that Stormfur had a crush on Squirrelflight when she was an apprentice (especially considering the recent standard that's been set in-text that apprentice-warrior relationships are not normal nor are they acceptable) ShrewSquirrel just isn't all that interesting to me, it's mostly just shipped because they were best friends as apprentices but I can't really see them beyond that. Crowfeather sucks with relationships and wouldn't treat her any different than he did to Leafpool and Nightcloud. And after his poor treatment of Leafpool, I can hardly see Squirrelflight ever becoming his mate or even liking him romantically. Or platonically, actually. God I hate Crowfeather.

CrowSquirrel my beloved <3
I also still ship TawnySquirrel but kinda want to look for more Squirrelflight ships to like besides those two.
Although my shipping preferences for Squirrelflight are definitely moreso inclined to ship her with outsiders rather than other ThunderClan cats.
MoonSquirrel and SolSquirrel are out of the question for me though. Since I dislike both of those characters and think Squilf deserves better than them (ironically, the same can be said for Crowfeather, so call me a hypocrite and burn me at the fandom stake lol). No hate to people who ship these ships though.
Never liked BrambleSquirrel, prefer BrambleStorm over StormSquirrel (cute ship name though) and have zero interest of ever shipping her with Shrewpaw (because it's just boring to me).
Other ships I've seen for her are two ThunderClan ones (ThornSquirrel and RainSquirrel) and with the final member of the sundrown quest group (FeatherSquirrel). So basically, Squirrelflight gets shipped with every cat from that quest lol.

I'm a fan of Crowfeather X Squirrelflight for the following reasons:
1. They had more interactions/relationship development than Crowfeather and Leafpool. The journey established trust and respect between them, which would have been a good foundation for further developing their relationship as romantic. Crow X Leaf felt more like a rushed high school romance, whereas Squirrel X Crow would feel more organic. We see many moments in later books where Crowfeather and Squirrelflight evince a high level of respect for each other.
2. I think they could have made their cross-clan relationship work. Crowfeather was always portrayed as somewhat of an outsider in his own Clan, and he proved that he was willing to leave his Clan for love by running away with Leafpool. I think he would have been willing, and even eager, to join ThunderClan with Squirrelflight if it meant he could have somewhere to feel at home. Since Squirrelflight has always been outspoken about her desires and the ones she loves, I think she would have announced their relationship to ThunderClan and stubbornly campaigned to let Crowfeather in. The combination of her stubbornness and her favorite status as a Clan leader's daughter would have eventually convinced ThunderClan to let Squrirelflight join. Crowfeather's fierce loyalty would have transferred over to ThunderClan and he would have become a highly respected and valued Clan member.
3. Their personalities match each other well. They are both feisty, loyal, and stubborn. Squirrelflight's enthusiasm and optimism would help counteract Crowfeather's grumpiness.
4. Their relationship would be more equal than Bramble X Squirrel. Bramblestar has always had a slight superiority over Squirrelflight (he was a warrior when she was an apprentice, deputy when she was a warrior, and a leader when she was deputy). I think his mindset has always been that he knows better than Squirrelflight and that he must put his leadership duties for the Clan before their relationship. Even if he admires her, I still think he patronizes her to some degree. Crowfeather, on the other hand, was on equal footing with Squirrelflight from day one. They were apprentices and warriors together. The half-Clan relationship would be a large relationship hurdle for them, but they would not have to deal with the same level of turmoil that has characterized Bramble and Squirrel's relationship.
5. Their stubbornness would mean that they would probably have pretty intense fights, but I think that their willingness to speak their minds would lead to explosive but fairly quick conflict resolution. Bramblestar and Squirrelflight tend to give each other the silent treatment, but I think that Crowfeather and Squirrelflight would fight on more equal ground and make up quickly.
6. Having Squirrelflight and Crowfeather get together would not drastically alter the overall plot of the books. Certainly, many aspects would have to be rewritten, but Holly Jay and Lion could still exist. The major difference would be that the three would have to deal with their half-Clan status from the outset rather than later.

I mean, I have a feeling that Shrewpaw would be the only one in this group who wouldn't treat her bad, even if they kinda seemed like best friends only. Tbh I think Squilf should have been single, but Shrewpaw seems like the best option.
