Sure.
Is it better for her to apply for student visa after her ban ends or apply and wait through her spouse?

Does her case affect i130, even after her ban time ends?

She violated the terms of her student visa. What makes you think they’ll issue another one?

Tell your friend that there is no cutting corners or visa shopping. She wants to immigrate to the US — she needs an immigrant visa to do so. Student visas are for non-immigrant intents.

What they were doing is not “exploring options”, it’s called visa shopping. 
Her F1 chances are long gone. 
Tell them to beware of applying to other visas with the intent of marrying.. that is immigration fraud. 
They will have to file for an immigrant visa. Best option is for the LPR to become a citizen and then file.

Oh yeah, it has very very less probability. They were just wondering and exploring  the ways so they can be together asap.

Then spouse should submit I-130 petition, and be patient and let the process run it's course.

ASAP?  He can re-locate outside the US.  She could have even more issues at the interview.  I could see a possible misrepresentation issue to deal with.  This could easily take a year after the interview.  They need to be aware.
