If we're talking specific characters?
Scout Harding comes to mind.
Abelas, if possible.
Kolgrim.
NOT VARRIC. I AM TIRED OF YOUR FACE.
If we're talking character concepts?
Mabari as a warrior slot.
Ash Warrior.
A Knight Enchanter. PLATE ARMOR SWORD MAGES WOO.
they need a talking mabari. They're smart anyway, not not make a "spell gone wrong" type of thing? Give him full voice and personality. I think that'd be cool as hell.

I LIKE YOU CAN YOU BE MY COMPANION IN THE SEQUEL?
I would love a demon party member.
maybe a corrupted bloodthirsty Cole?
a possessed party member!
ooooh! A desire demon that possessed a female dying saarebas?
and the female qunari mage's greatest desire was to live and explore
Or connor or Feyneriel!
we need a fem dwarf like harding or a fem dwarf templar that is basically CHANTRY!!!!! Cass but shorter :3
I will totes love a transgender character for flavor :DD
Justice but now he is stuck inside the body of an elvhen templar who watched as non-blood magic using circle mages killed his family/clan for FUN 
also i'd like a spirit healer possessed by a spirit of valor/tranqulity/peace/temperance wynne's son maybe?
but we need a rogue/mage warden that isnt human or dwarf
for both that poisoned the ashes:
a fallen templar now reaver
and i want this so badly:
a dual wielding warrior if only a companion so i can switch to them and remember what has been lost
and if we get a beefy qunari: Shield + two hander because nothing says OH GOD RUN BEFORE WE'RE CHOPEPD IN HALF
like a giant qunari with a tower sheild on one arm and a two hander in the other
also i will only take fenris if we get to recruit him after you sent him back to danarius.
i loved sending him back to his master's feet especially if you had him help slaughter merill's clan :DD
why are you looking at me like that?
we wouldnt remember :DD
also i will take varric back is he stops ripping on cassandra and actually becomes charming and fun again
I'd have to go with a pet, preferably one I can tame myself.

Mmmmmmmm yes.
A desire demon!
But an honourable one... one that's trying to do good, dealing with an inner battle between goody-goody morals and her/its true nature.
Oh, and please, pretty pretty please... make her/it a romance option. Preferably with a Sera personality and accent. Cheers.
a possessed party member!
Yeah, never had that before...Wait, Wynne. I mean at least in DA2 we... Anders...er, well maybe just a spirit or... Dang Justice and Cole.
....
But your Feynriel suggestion is good, he would be a similar role to Solas, just not a bad character.

Yes, yes....
"But an honourable one" Oh come oooon, you're taking all the fun out of it.
Sandal as a battle enchanter that creates runes of destruction at will and fills the battlefields with fire, ice, and chaos.
When asked how he can do it he'll just smile and say "Enchantment."
Totally won't get annoying hearing that thousands of times. No, sir.
Never.
From DAO:
-Zevran. Come on, if someone has to return that's him.
From DA2:
-Varric. He was awesome in both 2 and Inquisition. If I can have him again as a companion that'll be great.
-Fenris. More hardened, less whiny constantly ****** up slavers in Tevinter. He would be awesome.
-Anders. Okay, I can't even hope he'll ever be a companion again, but I really wouldn't mind him.
From DAI:
-Dorian. If it's true Tevinter is the next likely setting, then he would fit in like a glove.
And I would love to have an Avvar companion. Someone just like the sky watcher. How freakin awesome would that be?
Ooooh I love these threads
For companions in DA4 I'd like to see:
Orlesian Chevalier - Michel de Chevin would be interesting
Abelas or another Mythal temple elf (since Abelas can be killed off I think)
Female qunari character
The Archer from MP - his card said he's a human raised by Dalish or something like that... sounded interesting
Female dwarf - can be scout Harding
A tranquil character
Now that BioWare has released giant Nug mounts, they might as well go all the way and make one of them a permanent companion.

Well Master Dennet does have suspicions that they are much smarter than they let on: being so big with those hands and all. I think he wouldn't want to be alone in a stable with one.
I really don't want to see companions from other games return. I want new ones! Specially female companions. I want a gorgeous badass female qunari with a snarky personality.
I really want animals as companions, but I don't think they should occupy one of the 3 slots. They should be attached to your PC, like the ranger ability. I want my mabari (or a wolf) to be at my side at all times. *sad face*
Warriors
- 2 handed Female Tal-Vashoth
- Sword and Shield Male Dwarf
- Dual Wielding Male Human Gladaitor
Rogues
- Female Dwarf tinkerer (No Bianca)
- Female Tevinter soldier
- Male Elven thief
Mages
- Maevaris
- Blind Female Elf Mage
- Old Male Human Blood mage
They have generally tried not to reuse characters as companions that have a reasonable chance of being dead, without moderately strong story reasons (Leliana, Anders.) The best we can hope for is extended cameos on a fair number of fan favorites (Zevran, Nathaniel, Bethany, etc). They have shown that they will carry over a popular companion (Anders, Varric, Oghren). They have shown that minor NPCs often have expanded roles in later games. (Isabella, Merrill, Cullen) They have generally given you a set of new companions since you are a new character.
With that in mind-
Companion Carry over -
Dorian - this is obvious. When we go to Tevinter, which seems inevitable whether that be in 4 or 5, he will be around in some fashion. He can't be dead. He has motivation to improve his homeland. He is very popular. While he can be in a romance with either the Inquisitor or Iron Bull, he is ideaistic enough, and patriotic enough, that he would be willing to seperate from a love interest (at least for a time) for his homeland.
Iron Bull - probably more likely to make a cameo than be a companion again, but a possibility. The argument against having him as a companion again is that he can be different enough, depending on your choice with the Chargers, that it would take more resources to write him both ways. They would have to either make your choice not matter (which would irritate a lot of people), or write a fair amount of extra dialogue for him and still separate him from the Chargers. (Now that I think about it, I guess he could reasonably tell you he put Krem in charge of the Chargers and came with his friend/lover Dorian to Tevinter, but he didn't think it was safe to bring along the Chargers.) As he is a mercenary, they could almost certainly justify his presence just about anywhere in the world.
NPC to Companion -
Scout Harding - She's been surprisingly popular. She's clever, she's cute, and she's a skilled dwarven archer.
Calpurnia - Fascinating character. Some Inquisitors never encountered her (siding with Mages), some Inquisitors could have spared her, and even if you defeat her, you don't see her actual corpse. I think she would be a fantastic companion for a Tevinter DA. They haven't done a full on "villain to companion" character, although Loghain sort of counts, although he comes so late. I think it would be great for them to explore.
New characters:
Assuming Tevinter, some characters that would offer interesting perspectives -
An (ex?) Slave who sold themselves into slavery to pay a debt and is not anti slavery (warrior or rogue)
A Magister. Maybe one who is enmeshed in politics, and plays the them well. Would have to be very different from Vivienne in personality. Maevaris would work, but since I like the idea of having Dorian and Calpurnia as companions, I'm not sure having 3 lets reform our homeland human mages in a party works. I guess Dorian could take this role if his father died and he had to assume his seat.
Ancient Elf from the Temple of Mythal - Not Abelas, since you can kill him, but another of those released by the use of the Well of Sorrows.
Seheron Fog Warrior
I'd love to see a female Qunari who isn't a Ben-Hassrath and an evil(ish) mage from Tevinter. Just so we could get to learn about their cultures from people who'd have different view on it than previous Qunari and Tevinter companions.
Ash Warrior
-His skill tree would be based around synergy with him and his mabari
-His mabari would always be present when he is in the party

A desire demon with honour would make it interesting...
Think about it, she struggles with human/people morals as opposed to her true demonic nature... but here's an idea; your PG can influence which direction she goes in (same deal as Lel in DA:I).
Would like to see Finn from Witch Hunt and Ariane also.

A tranquil character
maybe a tranquil possesed by a desire demon? 
HERE IS A WEIRD ONE THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN:
dwarven blood mage/blood templar
a templar trained dwarf that began to dream after decades [35-45 year old dwarf ] of drinking lyruim and instead of 'restoring' reality s/he twisted it to their whim but began to use their own blood instead of lyruim or scrap the mage stuff a dwarf who uses their own blood instead of lyrium due to the addiction and side effects from using it since s/he was using from the age of 14/15
