If the Marines need a strict protocol of three Admirals, of all the Vice-Admirals we have seen prior to the Time Skip, I would have to agree Onigumo and Doberman would be strong candidates, as said due to their strength, being highlighted a bit more then others and also because both are feverent believers in Absolute Justice ala Akainu, and are just as ruthless in enforcing it. I do wonder if Doberman would have some sort of Paramecia to balance Kizaru's Logia and Onigumo's Zoan.

Of course, they would have to become a bit stronger since then, but that can always be hand-waved via Akainu putting both in a rigours training regiment or something of that idea, perhaps.
