Well, in the last thread we had on this (I think we have three to five threads on it now):
http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?forumID=1&pageID=2&threadID=110528&archive=0
I posted this and I still think it's a good idea:
I completely forgot about Don Davis. He's been brought up before as having ghostwritten large parts of(?) one of Horner's scores (an animated film as I recall). Plus all his orchestration. Then of course there's JAC Redford, who's orchestrated for James in the past. Get Davis for the score, bring in a familiar orchestrator, and that group of musicians Horner worked with on some films (I forget their name; something like Incontention), and there's probably a solid winning combination. I seriously can't iamgine Cameron going wrong with something like that.
Incantation was the group of musicians I could not recall the name of.
The animated film I couldn't recall the name of at the time was "We're Back: A Dinosaur's Story".

Alan Silvestri.

Alan Silvestri id say.Cameron prefers to work with those that can put up with his tantrums.

As much as I love Silvestri, I just don't see his style fit with a film like Avatar.
James Newton Howard has the right musical vocabulary but overall I find him to be a bit too much of a journeyman. His music is always adequate but he rarely blows me away (but when he does, he really shines).
I think Zimmer could also deliver something amazing if he were to take his time, like Horner did with the first one (and this coming from someone who hasn't been impressed by Zimmer in some time).
But hey, for all we know Cameron brings back Brad Fiedel
