Out of all those candidates, I feel like Lee is the most qualified. Just like Might Guy, he has most likely taken Guy's hands-on approach to teaching and will get very close with his pupil(s). Unfortunately, I fear he may have also taken Guy's penchant for favoritism, so he would probably just pool all of his strength into the endearing hard worker and forget about the other two.

Honestly, if Naruto wasn't Hokage, he'd be the most qualified. If one of his students even so much as tried to turn to the dark side, he'd hit with a talk no jutsu so fierce he'd have dreams of becoming Hokage too.
