Hmm....this is an interesting question.
Most presidents have experience as either governors or senators. Of the unrepresented groups, Lutherans have the most members serving in these capacities (6 senators + 1 governor.) However, the point about Lutherans being extremely regional and thus unlikely to break out as national politicians is well-made.
But it may be a long time (or maybe never again?) that we get a new Protestant denomination in the White House. The trend has been for fewer Americans to identify strongly with denominational labels, so vaguely "Christian" presidents like Obama/Trump should be the norm going forward.
Mormons stand-out for being mostly immune from this trend, growing, and they're increasingly well-represented in national politics, so my vote is for them.
