Hawke, I never really got attached to my wardens like others have.
If the choice was between Hawke and the HoF...

The Warden, without a moment's hesitation.

I'd leave the Warden, apologising the whole way; considering Wardens are all about sacrifice, I doubt any of my Wardens would be the exception in the rule.
So, in a way, I'm glad Bioware didn't go through with their original intent and thus spared me from that kind of dilemma. XD

As the story stands right now, Hawke walks out of the Fade every time.

I wouldn't even care to be honest, if they put the warden into this game 99.99 % of chance that the warden would be just random npc written by bioware and not even slightly resembling most of dao the wardens if at all ,avoiding that killing themselves would be OOC for many wardens.So pretty much all you need to do is take Straud and name him the warden to see how it would go.
So avoiding rp reasons i would prefer saving hawke, as pretty much everything i liked about the warden would be destroyed by this point.

Dang, what a question. I haven't the foggiest idea. It would be a harder choice, certainly.
Just from my Inquisitor's perspective, there are a couple of criteria that I use (between Hawke and Stroud). I do like the idea of Stroud redeeming the Wardens with this final act. There's also Varric, and having to face him afterward. With his limited knowledge of each person, that's really all he has to go on really. I think each of them make compelling arguments to the Inquisitor at the time, but in the end I choose Stroud. I might use similar criteria in choosing between Hawke and my Warden, with Warden filling in the Stroud slot and also offering redemption for the Wardens.
Personally, as the player, I have more attachment to Hawke than my Warden, and I do credit a large part of that to the voiced protagonist. She just seemed more real to me because of the fact that she was voiced, and I never felt that it diminished my RP in any way, just as I don't with my Inquisitor, who is my favorite DA character.

I think I'd almost consider leaving Hawke behind if it were between Hawke and Corypheus.
My HoF is so much better than Hawke.

I'd save Hawke each time, since the Hero of Fereldan could probably take on the Nightmare Demon with his/her shuffle of death.

It would be pretty tragic in my case because Hawke and my Warden, an Amell, are actually related. In the end I would probably choose Hawke to make the sacrifice because I believe my Warden could make a bigger difference in the world. You know, in the event the developers stopped writing him out of the picture of course.

I don't think the Inquisitor would be able to choose that one. If they picked Hawke, then Beth/Carver would probably try to sacrifice themselves instead. If they picked Beth/Carver, Hawke's feelings would depend on the player... but I don't think it'd make sense for any Hawke to leave their siblings fate to some random person.
I think that would be more interesting if they would act independently. Hawke will sacrifice him/herself for Bethany and Carver sacrifices himself for Hawke. (for example)
The scene with Alister sacrificing himself for his love-warden could not be sooo strong if instead of his sacrifice we got the choice window "Alister kills Archdemon" or "Warden kills Archdemon"

I'd leave the Warden because she's already under a gruesome death sentence via monstrous deformity, she has nightmares all the time, she can never have children, her first love died in her arms, she was separated from her whole family who she'll never see again, and she was forced to become a Warden in the first place.

If the decision of who gets left behind in the Fade was between Hawke and your Warden aka the Hero of Ferelden, who would you pick?
Hawke again.
I left her behind to save Alistair, I'd leave her behind again to save my own girl.

I leave my Warden. He'd probably find a way out anyway with the high level of cunning he had.

Too bad all that cunning would've been erased, and the HoF would've been a lvl 11 character just like Hawke and whichever Warden you got were.

It's rather probable that the writers at least toyed with the idea, the problem is that Inquisition's story would make no sense if the HoF was directly involved.
First, there's the whole Grey Wardens arc: they all disappear because Clarel pulled rank on all the southern Wardens: if the HoF is still present, there's two commanders in the South and at the very least the Fereldan Grey Wardens wouldn't have disappeared: meeting the HoF alone in a cave instead than in Vigil's Keep with the Fereldan Wardens and Amaranthine's military at his/her beck and call would make no sense.
And then, there's the whole explosion at the Conclave: it happens because Corypheus used Wardens enthralled to him to sneak in and capture the Divine. Except the HoF was Justinia's first choice to helm the Inquisition, which means that had the HoF remained in Ferelden, s/he would already have been proclaimed Inquisitor and would have been present, with troops loyal to him/her with the Divine. Corypheus could have tried to get to the Divine anyway, but instead of taking everyone by surprise, he would have been intercepted by highly trained Darkspawn killers who would have sensed his presence from miles away: at the very least the Conclave would have been evacuated while the HoF and co kept Corypheus busy.
We come back to the HoF's main problem: you bring him/her back, you break the story.
I agree with this. I'd be extremely annoyed to see the HoF hiding out in some cave in Crestwood, on the run from these stupid Wardens. Like, where'd it all go wrong that this character has no one to turn to? S/he is possibly the good friend and/or lover of the king of Ferelden, ran an arling and saved the country. Stroud is a nobody by comparison so I'm fine with him being a Warden "fugitive", but not the HoF, who established plenty of alliances outside of the order. And then there's the possible Leliana connection. If the HoF romanced Leliana, why would s/he avoid Skyhold?

If the choice was that I would have uninstalled the game, shut down my PC and never played a DA game again...

I think it makes more sense, narratively speaking, for any Warden -- be it Stroud, Logain, Alistair or our Warden -- to stay behind instead of Hawke.
The Wardens caused that whole mess. It was their responsibility to clean it up -- not Hawke's. Part of the Warden oath is, "In Death, Sacrifice", is it not?
Even a Hawke who willingly released Corypheus from his prison did so on the erroneous advice of Janeka, a Grey Warden. Hawke didn't even want to be in that cursed place. She was only there to get the blasted carta to leave her (and possibly her surviving sibling) alone. She shouldn't have to pay the ultimate price for the Wardens' blind arrogance and foolishness, both in Legacy and Inquisition.

With that choice there should have been other factors, like, who is more suited to defeating the big demon and being able to walk away from it? There was never any information or contradiction given in that choice. It would've been better if you could choose the right person, or equip that person with sufficient gear to have them walk away from that fight.
With the way that choice is now, it really doesn't matter.

The only warden I'd sacrifice is Loghain! and that b-word never survives DAO so, bye bye Hawke.
edit: plus you have the option of Feynriel possibly saving Hawke anyway.
