Currently(or soon to be) Reading: Alan Scott: Green Lantern, Batman/Superman: World's Finest, Fire & Ice: Welcome to Smallville, Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Jay Garrick: The Flash, Justice Society of America, Power Girl, Superman, Shazam, Titans, Wesley Dodds: Sandman, Wonder Woman, & World's Finest: Teen Titans.
Hal Jordan - No Hal, no JLA for me.
I understand why he's continually replaced, but he's the only incentive I have to buy the book.
For me, the JLA without Hal is like the X-Men without Logan. (I've got nothing against X23, but no Logan, and I'm like....nah I'll pass)
In short:
Everyone from Brave and the Bold #28 to Flashpoint.
In a rotating team with Martian Manhunter, Hawkgirl, John Stewart, Red Tornado, Elongated Man, Firestorm, Vixen and Zatanna as the core.

The GL slot has traditionally been the one that changes up the most, but I like that about the GLs. They're busy. Like, busier than Superman busy.
Hal had the most stretches as a Leaguer by far, then John, and Guy/Kyle having about the same, I'd guess, with the rest only having a few years between them. This is why I say give Jess the role. GL's function very well as the new kid. Jess, in comic book time, is no longer a rookie, but she is still most certainly the new kid. This role is key to League stories. You need someone around you can explain things to for new readers, and Jess hasn't been around that long. It also gives readers an audience surrogate that's waaay cooler than Snapper Carr (hip cat, he may be).
Wally would also be a great foil for Jessica because they, as of yet, have no relationship with each other. They'd just be starting to meet. NO ROMANCES THOUGH.
I'd like there to be a member from an alternate Earth of the wider Multiverse. That would be a nice tip of the hat to the larger canvass that the DCU is now operating with. Although I suppose they're already doing that with Future State Justice League's Flash, which makes perfect sense.
Excusing Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman (kind of the "must be in it" characters)
- Flash
- Martian Manhunter
- Cyborg
- Zatanna
(As new/trainee members)
- Supergirl
- Green Lanterns (Jessica Cruz and Simon Baz)
- Miss Martian
(Course my favorite Justice League roster was in the Fatal Five movie, so take that as you will.)
Doctor Strange: "You are the right person to replace Logan."
X-23: "I know there are people who disapprove... Guys on the Internet mainly."

For the production of comic sales, I believe the Green Lantern who holds the title, should be the one in the JLA, since it is often the JLA that is the gateway to individual titles.
I will defer comment on Jessica Cruz, because I don't want my post turning into classic GL flame war. I will just say that she will most likely never be able to carry the GL title saleswise, so if not Hal, than there would be better GL options available.
Hal fans who want to see him in the JLA, are not asking for the moon.
We are simply stating that we've bared the brunt over the years, and it would be nice if the load was shared. Diversity wise, 5 of the big 6 all have suitable replacements, who could be slotted in at any given moment, whether your choose to replace just 1, or 4 or 5.
