Reversed - Maya.
I read a spoiler on some other forum that stated that one of the two twins would be brought back to life after being killed (and I really doubt that there is any reason to save Alejandro). Also, Kristen (E!) said that nobody would cry over the death of the hero who will ultimately be brought back. Given that people aren't very fond of Maya, I think this is a pretty good case for her being the "reversed" death.
Final - Sylar or Nathan.
The case for Sylar:
I've been hearing for some time that Elle kills Sylar and emerges as a "hero", plus we all know that Zachary Q. has other projects in the works that could help his career long-term more than staying on this show. Moreover, the term "final" implies (at least to me) that the character may have been close to death once before and this is the "final" death (I could be reading too much into this though). Lastly, one of the deaths is supposed to cause a *hit storm if it sticks, and I think the biggest storm would come from killing off Sylar for good.
The case for Nathan:
In both season 1 and season 2 his character has had no sizzle, no pop--nothing that makes anyone really care if he lives or dies. Plus, the Petrelli family seems to be doomed to tragedy of one kind or another, so it would make sense for something to happen to them (and there is no way it will be Peter). Lastly, Kristen from E! said, I think, that people wouldn't cry over the reversed and final, which suggests that the "final" death may be somebody lame (like Nathan).
Uncertain - Niki or Sylar
The case for Niki:
Rumors have been circulating for a while now (via "Insider" from the NBC Heroes Forum--be skeptical) that Ali wants off the show for whatever reason (wants to do moves, the writers can't manage to give her a real storyline...etc). Also, everyone seems to agree that Niki runs into a burning building in the final episode to save Monica. Now, unless they show her blackened corpse being shoveled out of the wreckage, I think this is the perfect set up for an "uncertain" death. Don't you? Furthermore, a major near death experience may give her character a new direction and something to build a storyline from, because, please, the writers need to get their *hit together with her plot--fo real, yo. Oh, and another thing, if they were planning to kill Niki off, I think they would have kept D.L. on so that Micah wouldn't be parentless. What kind of messed up kid will he be after loosing both of his parents in similar ways. Oh, and one last thing (I promise). How stupid would it be for Niki to face the threat of dying from a virus that she injected herself with, which leads to Mohinder causing all sorts of chaos trying to find a cure for Niki (killing HRG, trying to jack Claire...etc), ultimately finding a cure and telling Niki so, but then only to have her die in a fire? WhatEVER!
The case for Sylar:
This is a simple argument. Sylar has a huge fan base, and they know better than to kill him off for good unless Zachary really just ups and leaves the cast for other projects. As I see it, the writers on the show tend to reuse the same stupid plot twists over and over within a single character, so I can totally see them having yet another "uncertain" death for Sylar. Again, whatEVER!
The case for Sylar:
This argument is simple.
