I agree with most of what you said. They tend not to go with the obvious pick.

The only reason I have a hard time picking McIntyre is that the case will most likely be cashed in quickly this year. With the MITB ppv coming up, the chances are that the winner will be cashing in before July. Win or lose, I don't really see McIntyre having a world title match of any real interest or importance.
He's been booked well as an IC champion, but he's not over on that level yet, and last time he stepped in the ring with a main eventer he lasted all of 3 minutes.

I think he has a bright future in the WWE, but I don't see how him getting a title shot before July would keep people on the edge of their seats, or work them for a second.
Christian, on the other hand, could easily use the case to jump brands or have a match with Edge or Jericho that would be of great interest. It wouldn't be a Cena/Batista draw, but it would be big for a certain demographic and WWE knows this.
Plus I think win or lose, most fans will at least entertain the idea of him possibly winning and that's all that matters.
