Faith? Because though she didn't die literally, she did go through the death-and-rebirth thing symbolically; "This Year's Girl" even uses the rising-from-the-grave imagery in Faith's (and maybe also Buffy's) opening dream. Also, Buffy being willing to kill her in GDII was an important point; the first time she planned - and went through - with using deathly force against a human being. (Faith surviving wasn't due to Buffy's lack of determination.)
Oh, and: Warren and Ben? Both Scoobie murders, after all.
