I only voted for three - Cory Booker, Sherrod Brown, and Mark Warner. Sherrod Brown would add the Bernie element to the ticket. Booker is a minority with some experience, and though he would probably take some spotlight away from Hillary, he adds a youth factor that she probably needs, and if she really just wants to do no harm and pick someone who will be a nonfactor, Mark Warner is perfect (I genuinely believe that Tim Kaine would be an absolute hinderance because he's spent his career jumping over incredibly low bars and is very much underwhelming as a candidate).

The other candidates are a combination of "who cares", would be nice in a couple of years but not today, and they would be a detriment to the ticket (the last category applies to Martin O'Malley, who the Republicans probably have hours of tape attacking whoever becomes the nominee, and Brian Schweitzer)

Julian Castro. But Booker and Heinrich are good choices too.

Joaquin Castro, Xavier Becerra, Ken Salazar, or Cory Booker. I also think that Tim Ryan could be a good pick.

Cory Booker is my top pick on this list, but I still like my wildcard pick of Chris Murphy.

My favorite is Tim Kaine: Experienced in the executive and legislative branch and comes from an important state. I think Castro is overrated.

That is a solid wildcard pick - the definition of does no harm.

Male, white, young, exciting, handsome, strong on gun control, very liberal, and has regional consistency with Clinton's NY base.

That's... where I'm gonna have to disagree with you. The guy embraces his brand as a boring guy. And that's fine: we don't need an exciting VP pick. Just a VP pick who doesn't mess things up.

Warner, or else Kaine. It will be very difficult for the Republican nominee to beat her if she takes Virginia, so any slight bump he can give her there will pay off handsomely.

I'm probably pretty biased for that part since I used to work for him, but he's exciting compared to most of the other white guy picks.
