I choose Adalind. I think Juliette was a weak character that the writers failed to utilize properly from day 1. If they had managed to get her character right, I don't see how Nick could have ended up with Adalind. From the very beginning it was hard to root for Juliette, at least for me it was. It didn't matter that she was a good girl and all, I simply felt that she and Nick were mismatched judging by how badly they both handled the changes Nick went through when becoming a grimm.

As for Adalind, I never expected them to ever have a child together or be together romantically or for me to actually like them as a couple, especially with their history but I couldn't help but warm towards them as a pairing. Despite their tumultuous relationship when they were enemies, they seemed to mesh well as a couple, I guess it was due to all that fiery chemistry suddenly finding a different outlet that wasn't anger and hatred.

Nick and Juliette didn't have any deep seeded issues when they were together pruir to the pilot but for some reasons struggled to work through their problems brought on by Nick becoming a grimm and unintentionally grew weaker for it. But compare that to Nick and Adalind, who had a mountain of baggage between them, somehow they managed to handle their issues and grew stronger for it. Juliette came across as someone who chose to sweep under the rug the things that bothered her, bottling everything inside until one day it all went BOOM! Which kinda proved my hesitency in supporting her relationship with Nick in the first place. S4-S6 proved me right in my assessment of those two.
