I think that Adam being a patchwork of various dead bits is the exact opposite of the Scoobies, Adam is there to make Buffy understand that even though she's The Slayer she needs her team...the team she's neglected because of Riley (cf "A New Man"), a team that Adam and Spike tried to break("The Yoko Factor"). It's only when they do the "union spell" in "Primeval" that the First Slayer is summoned and Super!Buffy can beat Adam. So IMO the parallel works mostly between Adam and Buffy&Co, rather than between Adam and Buffy.
Adam's bits are dead and demonish or artificial. He's a product made out of death (like vampires then !)by others, and he can only bring death. The goal of that patchwork was a destructive power , just like the First Slayer who was made by the Shadowmen and , as you pointed out, who said she's was absolute destruction in "Restless". The First Slayer was created too, she had no choice.
When the Scoobies merge in "Primeval" they seek power, but they are more than that, they remain living individuals connected together by choice and through love.
A choice and a love that will be again echoed in the last episode of the show, "Chosen".
