(Just kidding. I just really, really, really like Johnny Depp--he was my main motivation for seeing those movies. But I thought Norrington's return was pretty cool and look forward to seeing more of him.)
For someone to keep, I like Norrington, but I love how passionate Orlando Bloom's character is about Elizabeth. The idea of a guy who'd risk everything to try to rescue you no matter how daunting or insane the task might seem- that's incredibly hot. (Plus, I would do the same for someone I love and would like someone also like this.)
As for Jack, he would be a great fling or friends with benefits type (any time he rolled into town) but not one to keep. (I don't think anyone even could keep Captain Jack.)
Norrington is the man every girl should want to marry, Jack is the man only a fool would marry - but every girl wants date, and Will is the happy compromise.
Yeah, Norrington grew on me after viewing the first POTC a few too many times. (At first I thought it was kind of creepy that he wanted to marry Elizabeth. As an adult, he had known her since she was a little kid. That felt a bit weird. Plus, it seemed like marriage was just him completing the next task society expected of him, and Elizabeth was a respectable choice.)
I was actually pretty upset about how sh*tty his life had become in POTC 2. I hope things get better for him in POTC 3.
I'm really hoping that they explore his transformation from "officer and gentleman" to privateer. I hope he's redeemed, that he finds a sense of honor again, even if he doesn't return to his old life.

But if I was choosing one to keep, it'd be Norrington.
Yeah, but would Norrington be willing to break all the rules to rescue you?
