PLEASE do not let your personal shipping preferences cloud logical judgement for this. This is likelihood, not which is better, in your opinion.
That said, I choose Maiko. Song and Jin show no sign of reappearing, and Katara's an enemy, as always. Zuko will encounter Mai now that he's teamed with Azula, and we already know Mai has feelings for Zuko.

The more I think about it, the more I see Zuko being a "tragic end character" I think no ship is going to happen at this point, and Zuko dying dramatically against his father seems to be a possibility. Now that he is on the bad side, it seems the only way he can earn redemption is through a significant act such as that. Still, I will be very sad if Mike & Bryan kill Zuko off

Yeah, I should have added a "none" option. I agree, Isaac- there's a good chance of Zuko meeting his end. It's better than any of the other characters.

I voted for Maiko, but my prefrence is Soko. :B
Maiko has a chance of having drops hinted, but complete canonization (like Sokka's relationships with Yue and Suki) is unlikely. Zuko has too many issues to through into the woodwork of any sort of relationship beyond friendship, but those two will interact in the future... unless Mai has an incredibley shy side to her and just avoids him completely.

At this point Maiko.
I admit I am not very fond of Zutara but I respect it, I also love Zujin and Soko but to me Mai has the best chance with Zuko. First off, Zuko has joined Azula, Ty Lee and herself, her and Zuko will be spending some time together; and according to some spoilers she will have Zuko “whipped” I know not a lot of people like Maiko but I do not see why since it has never really appeared on screen before, just hints of it later on in the series. I am personally very excited to see how Mai and Zuko’s encounter ends up and if they would make a good couple in the Avatar world.

Most likely? This are looking pretty Maiko-ish, if the "whipped" and "rekindled" spoilers are true.
Of course, "most likely" in no way means "most popular" apparently ;0

You must remember, Zutara was the only possible Zuko ship at the beginning of the series, so a lot of people shipped it and throughout the second season minor love interests were introduced to Zuko as well. Now that Mai is coming into the picture people might start to like her in a relationship with Zuko.

Woops! I should have read the first post. I chose Zutara cuz that's my preference. But, I guess, it reality, I would have chose "none", if it was there. I don't see Song or Jin making a return, and I feel that Maiko won't work (I just don't). And katara IS an enemy and we don't know if he will join the GAang. So he will most probably be with no one. Which is sad.;_; Though, I DO hope that Zutara will happen. XD

I agree with zukos recent turn back to the bad side he may may get together with mai. but I don't now. He looked pretty torn at the end of seaon two.

Well, just because it's been shown that one character has feelings for another doesn't mean a relationship will spawn from it or that the other character recriprocates those feelings. We'll need to see more eps to get a better grasp on the situation.

If any, Maiko, just because they are going to be corresponding in season 3, and it gives them a better chance of getting together.

Even ignoring the recent spoilers about it, Mai/Zuko has pretty much always been far and away the most likely of Zuko's ships to end up actually being a full-blown romance in the canon. It's also, for various meta reasons, significantly more likely than him ended up with no romance at all.
Which, it should be noted, its canonical likelihood is what made me start shipping it in the first place.

My preference is Soko, but I see Zuko as being alone.
He's simply not the relationship type of person.

I'd say that Zuko's interaction with Song and Jin might be evidence that his character is leading up to a romantic role. Sort of a progressive thing.
