One of those two and I could definitely see Y2J going to SD! or Shelton Benjamin

That sort of doesn't make any sense. The World Heavyweight Title only has three years of history. I'm not too fond the the SD! Title idea, but it wouldn't be THAT much more bogus than WHC.
As for the two SD! picks. I'm going to agree with The One and say Batista and Chris Jericho.
Jericho might finally be a top player on SD!, and he could really find his niche there. Y2J's a solid wrestler, and a great promo guy, which is what SD! needs in its main eventers. Eddie Guerrero is sort of both, but who knows how long the WWE can keep him a strong heel. JBL is a great promo guy, but he's not much for epic matches, which is what WWE needs in a megaheel. Randy Orton is on the rise, but he's exactly that, on the rise. In a few years he may be the top heel of the WWE, but right now he should be no higher than second.
Batista's a sealed deal, but instead of Jericho I'm tempted to say HBK or Shelton Benjamin. Benjamin has a lot of great matches on RAW waiting for him, though. He still hasn't had a feud with Triple H. I can see him getting some good stuff out of Edge. He can have a rookie vs. rookie feud with Carlito (which would be great for both guys). Kurt Angle vs. Shelton Benjamin is practically a must down the line. Shelton can go to SD!, but who's he going to feud with? Continue his rivalry with Muhammad Hassan? Who's the greatest athlete in the world; Orlando Jordan or Shelton Benjamin? Shelton is better off sticking on RAW where he can rise as the second biggest face.
HBK on the other hand may be too big for SD!. As a face he may overshadow Batista. If the fans have a choice to vote between HBK and Batista to face JBL for the World Heavyweight Title, I'm pretty sure they will pick Shawn Michaels. Part of the charm of sending Batista to SD!, is that he will be a big fish in a small pond. I don't mean that in an offensive way to anyone on SD!, but on RAW, Batista's theme seemed to echo throughout the arena when he walked to the ring as one of its top babyfaces. On SD!, it will probably shake the arena to the ground. Moving Batista to SD! gives him the safeguard of being the top babyface, with Benoit, Booker T and 'Taker there for back-up. HBK going to SD! would just completely erase any kind of strength Batista gains from wearing blue & silver.
