I’ve loved their relationship from the pilot movie – when Rodney ran into the chair area and ordered Sheppard “Major, think about where we are in the solar system.” and the 3D representation of the solar system pops up and Sheppard asks “Did I do that?” It sealed the deal when in the second ep – McKay and Sheppard were busy ‘playing’ as they tested out the personal shield that Rodney had found. Between Sheppard’s “I shot him… in the leg.” and Rodney’s “In-vul-ner-able!” and the two grinning like little boys – I was a goner on that pairing! 
I am firmly in the ‘camp’ that believes that TPTB of SGA including Malozzi, Cooper, Gero, etc. had their heads up their asses when they tried to cram ‘McKay/Keller’ down our throats. I don’t need or even necessarily want a canon pairing in my favorite shows [Torchwood was an exception] but McKay and Keller had zero chemistry [doesn’t help when David and Jewel were gobsmacked when they read the ‘pairing’ of their characters in the scripts – they thought Keller and McKay had a brother-sister type of relationship] while Sheppard and McKay had chemistry from the first moment onscreen.
