real quick analysis of all three first impressions (for fun):

flamsoos: my favorite of the three for a while. no clue why its the scarcest out of all them i don't think i've ever seen any ship content for them. a pyromaniac and mad scientist blow up machines and everything around them together. flamberges firery personality and zeal for life is contagious and makes susie appreciate the little things around her, and flam loves showing it to her and seeing how susies eyes shine the more she understands. flamberge teaches her how to let loose and have fun in a way she's never experienced before from her stale and sanitized life at hwc, which leads to susie having a seemingly 1-sided crush on an oblivious flamberge. insert love like you song from su that's them

fransoos: quickly rising up the brainrot charts for me. keep your friends close and enemies closer situation. rivals to lovers where both of them are too stuck up to realize they're much more similar than they think. francisca thinks susie is arrogant and full of herself and susie thinks the same of francisca, though they have a mutual respect for each others skill in their respective areas of expertise. despite this, they both try showing off and one-upping each other at every possible opportunity. both grow close as realize this lashing out is in some ways from how they've been hurt by the restrictive systems they used to live under, and how they're both struggling to adjust now that their previous lives have been upturned. in many ways both of them needed this rivalry. there's silent understanding and solace in each other's mere existence

zansoos: the most like a traditional relationship, is how i see it. not personally my thing but it is cute. zan and susie are wary of each other the first time they meet, and are curious about the expertise and lives of the other. then quickly come to the conclusion that the other is the more insane one, both in personality and lifestyle. they think this even as they get to become better friends. at first they pat themselves on the back for holding themselves back and being too polite to air that out, but those feelings later change to guilt. it comes as a relief when both of them admit they thought the other was nuts and they aren't being a bad friend for thinking that 1-way of the other. without the blockade of feeling like that have to hide their true feelings from the other, even in general after this, they're able to pursue a relationship built on trust. they're both a little messed up in different ways and that's okay, they love each other regardless. they're mildly toxic to strangers around them and support and enable each other doing that, like bullying children. the gaslight gatekeep girlboss ship

and just for fun, because i have polls now and we all know everyone with polls has to make at least one poll announcing it to everyone/lh, regardless of anything i've said above what's peoples favorite soos/tms ship. it's for science
