That captain from "safe," the one who is on a tour for the first time (the one who kinda looks like Slavik from command and conquer tiberian sun).
Guy has character. Doesn't look totally evil. could be cool

Jayne
It's my suspicion that he might have the most interesting and unusual back story of the entire crew.

I always figured that "The Man Called Jayne" would of premiered shortly after Firefly season 3.

Here's my vision for a FIREFLY spinoff called, oddly enough, FIREFLY.
First, there's a sequel to the SERENITY movie. In the movie, a few things happen:
1) The crew is involved in a scam that requires them to salvage and use a second, derelict Firefly to pose as Serenity (possibly dubbed Duplicity or something like that).
2) A new war for Independence is in the offing. This isn't Mal's war, though, so he decides he's sitting this one out.
3) Simon, on the other hand, decides that he DOES have political and personal interests in this war (given what has happened to his family), so...
Either at the end of the movie or in a special 2-hour premiere, Simon grows up, rebels against "daddy" Mal, and goes off to war as the captain of the Duplicity.
The cast is smaller than the original FIREFLY (maybe seven) and is a mix of characters brought over from the original series plus new ones.
As an added bonus, characters who can't be regulars because their actors have other gigs (such as Mal and Jayne) can easily put in a guest appearance or two per season.
A number of people have commented on Saffron, and I like that idea, so perhaps she joins the crew in the pilot, after a deal goes south with her current partner (who would become a recurring "frenemy" of the crew), played by... Neil Patrick Harris!

Perhaps a show centering around Magistrate Higgins. It would focus on his many quirks and fetishes, including his desire to watch his own son having sex.
Some episode titles could be....
Young Man's Got Stamina!
Debbie Does Higgin's Moon
Behind The Green Escape Hatch
Is That A Prod In Your Pocket, Or Do You Like Me?
Sweatbox Sweethearts
Mudder, Can You Spare A Dame?
The Magistrate In Miss Jones
Don't Landlock My Joystick
etc., etc.
