Brad Bird for me; as good as Vaughn and Blomkamp might be, I just think Bird has the knowledge, creativity, and free time on his hands to take up the task of directing the franchise into the future.
He has already directed (and wrote) 3 of the better animated movies made over the last 20 years (The Iron Giant, The Incredibles, and Ratatouille), and then was able to direct possibly the best Mission Impossible movie of that franchise. The guy is just a rising star. That and of course he worked on The Simpsons during their best years, so I always will have an affinity for his work.
Then with Blomkamp he really only has District 9 on his resume thus far, and I don't really know if I would trust him quite yet. And as much as I love most of Matthew Vaughn's work, he does have his fair share of forgettable movies (Stardust anyone?).
Out of those three I'd say Brad Bird is the easy choice imo.
