One of my many fond memories of watching BtVS for the first time is laughing with surprise and satisfaction at the first scene in WttH. (Heh, I guess that would also be my first fond memory of watching BtVS for the first time!)
I feel like I had a near-ideal first-watching experience: I watched the series almost completely unspoiled with a friend over the course of about a year. Of course, the first four or five months of that year were spent on S1 and the first half of S2, after which point I picked up the pace considerably.
Watching 3 eps in order isn't a bad idea. It would settle her in with the characters and story a little more, maybe be a bit more of a hook?
(She's a late 20-something, likes action heriones, liked Dollhouse. So an easy sell. I'm not sure if she'd like Spike? I mean, statistically speaking it's likely, but I can't say for sure.)
