In-universe, I think it's simply that Angelus did so much worse. Hm. Spike is, in-universe, the *Second* worst vampire on record, and did - amongst other things - slaughter an orphanage. I think it'd be mentioned somewhere if Angelus killed a Slayer... (The reason he didn't is probably quite simple - Spike got fixated because he loved a good fight, where he might not win. And it took him 20 years to find one even so! Angelus liked *torment*, and fixated on broken people, where the odds were wildly uneven.)
