Lexana...I have to warn you, sadly--I don't have any good thoughts about them. I've been watching the earlier seasons again and I was surprised to find that I actually didn't mind (even enjoyed) Lana. And then after half a season in, or maybe it was season 2, I got so, so tired of literally every other episode being another Lana stalker storyline. Even being a show about an alien, it just became so unrealistic, as if out of the entire town of Smallville, Lana was the only pretty girl that everyone had to fall for. I couldn't take her character seriously. And the insanely drawn out relationship between her and Clark didn't make me like either character any more.

And Lex...after Chloe, he was my favorite character. I rebelled against the idea of them so much. I thought their personalities didn't work together--they were bad for each other (Lana isolating herself from her friends, Lex with the fake-pregnancy, how vengeful she became after she left him...).

And then, from a general SV fan's view...Clark and Lex had many other legitimate issues that caused the rift in their friendship...I just hated that the writers decided to make Lana one of those reasons.
