If the series was to focus on the Shinigami, then Hitsugaya seems the most likely, to the dismay of many Im sure. An outside chance of Renji or Rukia. But if it was to focus more what it was when it started out, maybe they could go Uryu (don't think he's popular enough), or give Karin some real powers (I'd rather that didn't happen short of huge timeskip and v. good justification).

I can't see the major, powerful captains being a main character, especially Urahara/Shunsui (though I would love that and am certain just about everyone would like to see more of him). Better that they have limited roles to maintain their appeal. Too much of a good thing reduces its appeal. Always leave them wanting more and all that.
