First of all I vote for native Christians.They deserve to have their own churches with their rule on their lands. I have big respect for any Christian community of Middle East which doesn't give in to any other religion while they are feroicesly persecuted on daily bases.
Secondly I go for Armenian and Greek rule since they as well have ancient presence in Jerusalem with their churches.
And I would like Papa rule from Vatican as well or some coalition of all other churches since it is Holy Land for all Christians and might brought us all closer in Christianity.

Obviously, a descendant of King Baudoin III, the last ruler of the crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem.

House Savoy is the legitimate heir to the throne of Jerusalem, because they descends from Guy of Lusignan, not certainly the House of Bourbon
Spain is probably one of the most secularized/anticatholic/friend-of-islamic state in all Europe (with Italy).

The Jews would never allow a balance of Christian rule to Jerusalem. As they abhor Christianity far more so than Islam. As well they would not like to have Christians share in the stake of the holy land. To the religious Christians on here, Christ is not looked upon as the Messiah by the Jews, but rather as false prophet and they accuse his mother of not being a virgin. As well many of the Jews still recall their prosecution toward them in Europe, and how the golden age of the Jews was under the Moorish occupation in Spain, and when they were expelled in 1492, many came and were welcomed by the Ottoman empire. So much for friendship and balance, but believe what you want, because the truth all three Abrahamic religions share the same basic tenants and have far in common than one would like to admit

Why should Jerusalem become Christian? I mean, apart from mass conversion - in which case they would all ideally convert to Reformed Christianity. There is a sense in which I wouldn't care if Jerusalem were razed to the ground. Of course, the historical significance would be missed, but I don't consider the soil or buildings or anything else there to be holy; at least, not any more holy than any other spot on earth. So, realistically, I don't see much point in a "Christian Jerusalem" as things stand.
