(I haven't gotten her converted yet, but she hasn't been around much! Anyway, she has apparently seen Dr.H now so she should be susceptible to NPH as a way into HIMYM...must try that approach...)
Barney... well, considering that Barney's primarily defined by his philosophy of slutty bachelor behavior, a crowning moment of awesome for him would have to be somehow overcoming that. Not totally, but in a significant way nonetheless. We saw a mini-crowning moment of awesome when he was in the hospital in the season finale... but I really want him to own his feelings. Even if it doesn't work out, or if it scares Robin away, or he can't stop being a jerk long enough to have a real relationship, I want him to actually tell Robin "I love you."
Knowing what we know about his past, and his hidden squishy insides... I think admitting to himself AND the object of his love that he is capable of love would be a crowning moment of awesome. I want him to reach that point of accepting his own heart, that it's real and it's his and it's still capable of loving a partner.
