So a new (and classic) BOP team assembles with Rebirth.
There were lots of character choices for this one, and I love the Batgirl, Black Canary, Huntress combo.
Given the choice, which five heroes would have made the team?

My picks would be the classic Batgirl, Canary (although I think I hit bluebird instead sadly) and Huntress. Then I would add party girls Lady Blackhawk & Flamebird.
You're really opening a potential can of worms or three by not specifying which Huntress (Helena Wayne, Helena Bertinelli, or even maybe going back to Paula Brooks?) or which Lady Blackhawk (Zinda Blake, Natalie Reed, or the New52 version).
Also wish you had included previous members Starling (Evelyn Crawford) and Strix (Mary Turner, former Talon).
Classic Batgirl, Canary and Huntress with Lady Blackhawk and Spoiler.
I prefer BoPs cast to be small. I like when its more of a partnership then a super team. Not that im opposed to it as a super team or anything.
Love all these characters, but I went with Dinah, Helena, Harper and Stephanie.
I'll give Babs and Kate their own books, keep Cass in 'Tec.
Batgirl, Black Canary and Huntress... this is it. I love the core Birds of Prey. Even if Cass is one of my favorites, i prefer her solo so the trio is enough for me.

You can't do BoP without the core trilogy (Gordon, Lance and Bertinelli), hence why the recent New 52 volume was underwhelming and bad.
Though it is hard to do BoP without Barbara being Oracle. I do hope the new volume gives Batgirl Oracle traits and/or Frankie helps out the team as tech support.
I hope Frankie plays a part in the new BoP volume, and we get guest appearances from Batwoman, Orphan, Katanna, Spoiler and Shiva. Hopefully we get the introduction of the Nu Lady Blackhawk in the title too.
Emma Frost, Rogue, Felicia Hardy, Helena Bertinelli, Allison Blaire, Barbara Gordon, Monica Rambeau, Carol Danvers, Illyana Rasputin, Ororo Munroe, Harleen Quinzel, Lorna Dane, Irene Adler, Kate Kane, Rachel Grey Summers, Jean Grey, Diana Prince, Barbara Ann Minerva, Donna Troy, Jennifer Walters, Gwen Stacy, Wanda Maximoff = PERFECTION!
Any lineup that does not include Barbara Gordon, Oracle isn't getting my money.
The perfect Birds of Prey for me is:
Dinah Laurel Lance (Black Canary)
Barbara Gordon (Oracle)
Helena Bertinelli (Huntress)
Evelyn Crawford (Starling)
Zinda Blake (Lady Blackhawk)
One can dream!

Favorites: Natasha Romanova, Dinah Lance, Janet Van Dyne, Selina Kyle, Emma Frost, Kitty Pryde, Kate Bishop, Sharon Carter, Sue Storm Richards, Carol Danvers
Couldn't help but notice how good the names Misfit, Orphan and Spoiler look together.
If one wants to dream, can we also throw in the Helena Kyle version of Huntress (though giving her a new codename would be acceptable).
I picked five to be the new BOP:
Orphan (still hate the name)
Batwoman
Canary
Huntress
Spoiler

“You had a dream; I have a plan”--Cyclops
“There's no point in being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes.”--The Doctor
Limiting it to just five, I picked Batgirl (though I'd want her to be Oracle instead), Batwoman, Huntress (Bertinelli, to be specific), Black Canary, and Lady Blackhawk.
