I probably do a lot more shipping than just this, but here are some boring ships that I just think were truly made for each other (and have already been listed over 9000 times):

Bruno x Clara Tonic x Prima Sweet ANN x BIG AL MAIKA x KAITO English (because Anonymous and Waves of Change) Miku x Mikuo -- reason for this -- I find Miku very difficult to match with other voices (not just Vocaloids, but also UTAU, Vocalina, Sinsy, CeVIO, FL, and live voices) because she has a very unique tone and style. I frequently see people saying other Vocaloids sound just like her, although I always hear her sounding very different, and more other Vocaloids sounding more like each other. The biggest similarity in her sound with any other Vocaloid is the artifical vibrato. With how her personality is portrayed through pictures, videos, descriptions, and just general community perception, she also has a very unique and vibrant personality, which makes her hard to pair with another character in a shipping. I think she could easily be friends with anyone willing to be friends with her, but in a more traditional romantic type ship, I think the gender bent version of herself, a piece of her own soul, would be the only person able to balance and resonate with her properly, both romantically and vocally.

And finally MEIKO x KAITO -- such a common pairing, but I believe that Crypton had some idea of them going together in several ways when they were designed. Their color schemes, red and blue, are a very common match; their appearances depict a similar age and maturity level, and show that they are not just ordinary "people" but still retain simplicity; and finally, their voices. Right from V1, they are have a more aggressive type tone to them, not attacking, but very straight forward and present. Their quirks in vocal movement are also similar, and they match each other in presence and voice color. I particularly enjoy the version of Nekomimi Switch which has MEIKO and KAITO singing it; they compliment each other both in the harmonies sung together and in the back and forth parts, and whoever made the video did a fantastic job with the camera shifts and background behind them dancing. Whether it is romantically or as friends or just partners of any type, I truly believe these two belong together.
