Which of these 12 hypothetical parties?
1. Democratic (establishment neoliberal Democrats)
2. Republican (Reagan Republicans)
3. Libertarian (right-libertarian)
4. Constitution (paleoconservative Tea Partiers)
5. Green (environmentalist social democratic)
6. Social Democratic Party (Bernie Sanders social Democrats, Trotskyists, and Eugene Debs socialists)
7. National Populist Party (Donald Trump populist conservatism)
8. Communitarian (fiscally liberal and socially conservative; socially conservative Democrats and fiscally liberal Republicans; pro-labor union; pro-life; Joe Manchin, Bob Casey, Ben Nelson, Dan Boren, and Joe Donnelly Democrats; Rick Santorum and Mike Huckabee Republicans; I named this fantasy party "Communitarian" instead of "Christian Democrats" to be more inclusive of non-Christian communitarians)
9. Knights Party (white nationalist party; David Duke types)
10. Feminist Democrats (feminist social democratic party; similar to the Social Democratic Party, but more appealing to Tumblr/third wave feminists)
11. Centrist Conservatives (moderate center-right Republicans like Brian Sandoval and some Blue Dog Democrats similar to the late Arlen Specter)
12. Tea Party (hard-right Rand Paul/Ted Cruz/Dana Rohrabacher Tea Party Republicans)

Communitarian by far.

I'd be towards the Bob Casey wing rather than the Huckabee/Santorum wing.

1. Independent
2. Centrist Conservative
3. Republican/Democratic/Libertarian

Would these be the tickets?:
Republican: Marco Rubio/Kelly Ayotte
Democratic: Martin Heinrich/Kirsten Gillibrand
Libertarian: Ron Wyden/Rand Paul
Centrist Conservative: Brian Sandoval/John Kasich

Rubio/Ayotte would be Republican. Heinrich/Gillibrand would be Democratic. Wyden/Paul is an odd ticket, definitely not Libertarian; Wyden would be Democratic, and Paul would be a libertarian-leaning Tea Party candidate. Sandoval/Kasich is definitely Centrist Conservative.

Social democrats, with idiosyncratic positions on social and cultural positions.

Voted Feminist Democrats, although I'd definitely just swing/vote strategically between them, the regular Democrats, and the Social Democrats.

What other parties would you caucus with to form a coalition?

The socialist parties I listed are, Social Democrats, Greens, and Feminist Democrats. Which one would you join? Which parties other than the one you would join would you form a coalition with?

My vote would probably very between the Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, and Centrist Conservatives depending on the candidates and circumstances.

FemDem if it's split roughly evenly, would consider tactically being a Dem if D and R are the two major parties and the other 10 are minor.

D and R are the two major parties. Not all Democrats would necessarily be part of the same coalition. Some Democrats might caucus with Social Democrats, Feminist Democrats, and Greens. Other Democrats might caucus with Communitarians. Other Democrats might caucus with Centrist Conservatives and Libertarians. Some Republicans would be in a coalition with Constitution and Tea Party, while others might be in one with Libertarians and Centrist Conservatives; while others might caucus with the National Populists. I would mostly vote for Centrist Conservatives, but every now and then for Libertarians and Republicans.

National Populist Party, and I would likely despise the remaining Republican Party as much as I do the Democratic Party.

You must have made your username a long time ago, as having your ideology more or less be "I want populism!" is inherently antithetical to libertarianism.

Anyway, centrist conservative, though I'd prefer to remain a Republican if possible.

Yeah, I've changed a bit over the years even though I supported protectionism to an extent before. My Political Matrix score was updated shortly after the election, though.

Definitely Feminist Democrat. The only other two options I'd consider would be Green (2nd) or Social Democrat (3rd).

Oh, then Dem-caucusing FemDem.

I would be a Centrist Conservative who caucuses with other members of my party, some Republicans and some Libertarians.

No party for me. I'm in favor of the Communitarians, but Santorum and Huckabee disgust me. Boring old democrat, I guess, but very reluctantly.

Communitarians have a large tent, the Huckabee/Santorum wing is the party's right wing, the Joe Manchin/Dan Boren/Ben Nelson wing is the party's moderate wing, and the Donnelly/Casey wing is the party's left wing. Would you be fine with joining the Casey/Donnelly or Boren/Manchin/Nelson wing? You can be in the Communitarian Party and not caucus with the Huckabee/Santorum wing if you like. For example, Washington State Legislature member Tim Sheldon is a Democrat, but he caucuses with the Republicans.

FemDem, but I'd be open to Democrats, Greens, SocDems, and maaaaaaaaybe Communitarians (but not the Santorum wing).

This is assuming that all the parties are competitive in electioms.
