Re. the shashu, then it is stated (in 'Destiny' specifically) that the recipient of the shanshu will have his past wiped clean, so it's not just becoming human, it is getting a second chance, literally.
About the hellbound thing, then it is because they're *souled* vampires. (Pavayne: Beginning to understand, aren't you? The soul that blesses you... damns you to suffering forever.) Normal vampires go *poof* and that's it. But because of their souls Spike and Angel are destined for hell. It is *ridiculously* unfair, but those are the rules of the 'verse.
(Will be back later and respond to the post proper. It's wonderful!)
