According to Making Star Wars, not only is Darth Vader rumored to possibly be appearing in Rogue One, but in Episode VIII as well. "A team in the U.K. are soon heading to the U.S. to begin training Hayden Christensen for a Star Wars: Episode VIII appearance of some sort," the outlet has heard.
I guess it would make sense in Rogue One, it is the battle for the Death Star Plans and Vader would have been heavily involved in its construction. I would assume that we'll see Tarkin as well.
My problem would be simple. This is supposed to be like Hamburger Hill a desperate squad of rebel scu . . . err Soldiers fighting to gain the plans to a super weapon against an overwhelming force of StormTroopers.
Vader though would be at the height of his power and rage. He'd probably destroy the Rebels without thinking about it. On top of that the Rebels would have to win and gain the plans, which would mean that Vader, loses the plans, loses the Deathstar, wins at Hoth and Bespin, but loses the Falcon, loses badly at Endor.
Vader goes from an awesome villain to e laurel and Hardy character.
Vader as Skywalker in Episode 7 would make sense if he showed up in a Holocron, or in a flashback by someone old enough to remember the Chosen one, but if they resurrect Vader, I swear I'll jam a coat hanger up my nose and pull my brains out.

Force Ghost Anakin. Thats my call on it. Let's no forget that Luke learned to talk to dead Jedi very early-ish. He may be the youngest Jedi to learn it too. I think Obi-wan was learning it heading into exile at the end of III.
Edit: Perhaps Kilo Ren learns this too and summons Anakin to turn him into a Sith force Ghost. Who knows. Gawl! Hurry up December.
I think the force ghost is really the only option that wouldn't make every fan of decent storytelling throw their hands up and quit.
"We've resurrected him! And he looks like he did as a teenager! Woop!"
I would likely leave.
They showed him at the end of the ROTJ as a spirit...so he's definitely dead. The thing is they're talking about fitting chest plates. This must be for the Rebels story. It makes no sense that his spirit, who has already been shown to look like Anakin, would be wearing Vader's cyborg suit.
I just hate the idea of force ghosts, the Ben Kenobi one made sense and even to an extent the Yoda one. Having Anakin pop up kind of pissed me off a bit, because of my understanding that in order to become a force ghost you had to train yourself to let go of yourself, it was basically an act that you could only do if you were selfless.
Lets be honest, Anakin spent a lifetime not being able to let go, and because of that he needed to accumulate power and because of that he was greedy and always looking inward.
4 minutes of redemption wouldn't allow himself to go against that and train himself to just give everything up.
If you read through the EU, its just filled with force ghosts, its almost the easiest solution to writing yourself out of a corner.
I can just see it now, Luke is in a desperate battle in Episode 7 or 8, he's about to get cut down, when he hears a sound like the great Gazoo popping into the scene.
Ben Kenobi - "Luke let go trust your feelings"
Suddenly Yoda pops up beside him
Yoda - "too angry and impulsive still are you, you must remain calm"
Pop Anakin shows up
Anakin - "Don't make my mistakes my son, let go of your fear and your anger"
Blammo A Palpatine force ghost pops up - "Don't listen to these morons Luke, the only way to save your friends is with the dark side"
Yoda hits Palpatine with a ghostly newspaper, and Palpy fires back with some spectral lightning. A brawl ensues with lots of hair pulling, eye gauging and ball shots"
A thunder sound hits and a Force Ghost with an enormous and silly looking headpiece appears
Ghost - "I am Exar Kaan, former Lord of the Sith. Luke you must lift with your knees not your back"
Blammo Its Jar Jar Binks
Jar Jar - "Annie Annie is day you, yousa my palo"
The Anakin ghost rolls his eyes and vanishes.
Suddenly Qui-Gon appears and yells - "who forgot to buy some more force ghost toilet paper" Then he vanishes with the sound of a slamming door.
Another force ghost appears pushing a ghostly broom across the floor"
Janitor Ghost - "Why can't you idiots clean up after yourself, I've spent an eternity sweeping the ethers of the Force"
Pow
Holy crap its some black guy holding a bottle of colt .45"
Ghost - "This is the ghost of Sandro Calrissian brother of Lando, and when I'm haunting the people, I like to kick back with some smooth smooth colt 45"
Luke rams his lighsabre through his chest in disgust and pitches forward dead.
Suddenly a Luke ghost appears in the chaos
Luke Ghost - "Awwww fu..."
