I'd like to see the Dems run Franken, O'Malley, Booker, Gillibrand, Klobuchar, and Hickenlooper for a primary. That's a decent array from centrists to progressives and in between.
An independent has zero chance. Not with current campaign finance laws at least. They can't compete with the major parties. There's a reason why Trump ran as a Republican (and why Bernie ran as a Democrat). Neither truly belong to those parties, but they knew they would need the funding and support
