Personally if they are going to drop Kovalainen this year then Vettel is simply not an option for Mclaren - no matter how competitive they could be next year. Red Bull won't let him go i'm sure. Out of those who would be available, you would probably have to go with Rosberg.
Again Di Resta could be an option, and should be
If Mclaren had any sense they would opt for Rosberg, he is an excellent driver when full of confidence. We can see that clearly now when he's in a strong Williams.
He'd probably be my second choice, shaded just by Vettel. I'd say Rosberg would be better for the short term (more experience, so less consistent and erratic), but I think Vettel is a little more talented and McLaren should be prepared to give a year or so to fully develop as a driver.
Di Resta is an option as well. He did very well in the junior formulae, even owning Vettel, but that does not necessarily mean he will do as well in Formula One, and he's not got the experience of either Rosberg or Vettel.
