11. No, I think it would be Santorum (as you point out) or Paul Ryan, the previous VP candidate.

Jeb has a lot of establishment support but he's not the "it's his turn" candidate.

My guess is that either Santorum or Ryan would be an easier opponent for the Democrat to defeat. Jeb has the handicap of the Bush name but otherwise is generally perceived as more moderate and sensible than either of those two.
