My preferred option for personal reasons would be Edmonton Trail, but I suspect the best option for the most number of people would be up Centre Street to Beddington and then across to the airport.
The sad irony of the North Central line (via Centre Street) is that they've got the right of way set aside for it North of Beddington Trail, but between there and downtown it will be an expensive build. Nearly exclusively elevated or underground. It would be the best option, IMO.

Nose Creek would be a waste. Barely anyone lives or works along there, and luckily, Nenshi has mentioned that as well.
