Someone new, duh.
Why keep bringing people back? We heard there stories and know pretty much everything about them. Also last time I checked the fanbase starts hating companions when they return (aka Oghren or Anders)
Which Dwarf Companion?

If it was done well (and I would have serious doubts about this), Sandal could be really interesting. He was a likable little fella in DA:O but was uber-creepy in DA2. In all things companion related, I wouldn't mind having as many new companions as possible. On one hand, I want my import saves to feel like there is a continuity of the choices I've made in the games, but I see that fresher material allows Bioware to write a more focused narrative.

Somebody new, hopefully from Kal-Sharok. I'd quite like a more serious dwarf this time around, since all of our vertically challenged companions thus far have existed largely for comic relief.

Jerrik Dace was pretty serious.

He was also as boring as unbuttered toast.

Someone new, of course. But I loved all three, for very different reasons, and would feel like I was slighting the other two to pick just one.
Personally, I'm hoping for a larger dwarven presence in DA3 than DA2. With Kal-Shirok right around the corner from Orlais, it seems feasible.
From Dragon Age wikia:
In recent times, however, it has been discovered that Kal-Sharok miraculously survived the darkspawn onslaught. However, the few dwarves living there are said to be extremely reclusive and unwilling to re-establish contact with the rest of the world as well as being embittered towards Orzammar.
With far fewer resources than Orzammar and no access to the surface, Kal-Sharok has had to do some very questionable things to survive, and now they are changed forever.
I think Orzammar is a safer bet in this matter (and it's closer too).
Considering both cities are on borders of Orlais I'd say that really depends. Kal-Sharok is closer to Val Royeaux but Jader is closer to Orzammar so it depends on where our camp/homebase is doesn't it? I mean the no access to the surface is the biggest obstacle but that could easily be fixed by having the protagonist go through the deep roads for a week or three before actually making it to the city. Then from there on out they could learn the dwarves are trying to build/plot a path to the surface.
As for the original question I love all the dwarves but I would prefer a new dwarf or if I were forced to choose Sigrun though I'm not really a fan of companions returning unless they were temporary like Merrill. I'm with King Cousland though Kal-Sharok dwarf all the way.

There will always be room in my castle for Oghren. He can live in the distillery.
I have a hard time imagining another dwarf will ever live up to his standard. Which is very very low. But most dwarves suck at limbo. No dexterity. Oghren didn't need it, he was so plastered he floated under it by the power of the bubbles in his stomach.

A new one.
Loved Sigrun and Varric and would personally be happy to see them again, but returning characters are always a little more limiting (even when they're awesome) because so much of the audience has a pre-set idea of how they need to behave.

I'm hoping Sigrun at least makes an appearance. She needs more love.

If we only get one Dwarven companion in DA3, are you hoping for Varric, Oghren or Sigrun? (Or someone new?)
And who do you think would win if Varric and Oghren get into a bar brawl?
Strictly from those choices, my answer to your first question is a close call between Varric and Sigrun, probably leaning towards Varric because, well, do I even need to explain? But, to be honest, I, like others, would prefer a new dwarf companion, if there is one.
As for your second question... Oghren has more experience fighting drunk (obviously!), but have you seen the backflips Varric's capable of? I'd bet my coin on Varric.

Out of our previous 3, Sigrun. Though I don't see how a GW would fit into the war. Anyways, my real answer is: a new one.

Why can't we have more than one returning dwarf? Let's have Sigrun and Varric (wouldn't they make an adorable couple?) together.

Varric and Sigrun. Please! If forced to choose... oh, Sigrun. We need a female dwarf; DA2 was short on those. Varric, though... awesome.
I would flip for either one, but I want it to be both. Or a new female dwarf. Man, if you had a dwarf that resembled Kat from Alphas in personality, I would love her 'til the end of time. I loves me some Badass Adorable. Although, hell, that was Sigrun already, really!

Sandal is too integral to the big picture to be a companion. But thumbs up for everone who voted, "enchaaaaaanntmeeeennnt."
Of the three on that list I choose Sighrun.
But in open voting I choose a sultry female dwarf as a potential LI. Let all the ****-chasers be forced to romance a dorf!

That would overwhelmingly awesome. Now I'm imaging a party consisting of them, Alistair, and Isabela. A group like that could snark the Archdemon to death.

A new female dwarven LI would be nice. Sigrun as an LI is a close second.

Sandal I seriously hope and expect Sandal. Oghren was great, but he would be better as a cameo appearence. I never cared for Sigrun, and she can die. Varric will most likey be a cameo or you only hear from him through letters or news. I also support a new Kal-Sharok.
As far as the bar fight would go, it would end up with Oghren smashing a bear bottle on Varrics head knocking him out. Oghren would then cheer then pass out on account of his drunkeness.

Someone new. We got plenty of Oghren in Origins/ Awakening.
As to the second question, I think it would depend greatly on Oghren's level of enebriation. He's fiercely strong and a berzerker to boot, but he's also a hopeless drunken sot and Varric's rather nimble, for a dwarf.

Someone new or Varric, kiiiiinda leaning toward Varric thoug, he's the hype man to your pc, i liked having a hype man for my sarcasim rap battles thru out kirkwall
Oghren coooouuuld be a contender, but only if he's voiced by Steve Blum, you got lucky the guy who replaced Greg Ellis on Anders turned out to be equally excellent, but DON'T MESS WITH THE BLUM!!
