Well, simple enough, choose one.

Agnostic preferably, but I would be perfectly fine with a Buddhist child, Buddhists do seem to have a lot more in common with my own beliefs than the other options.

Buddhist, or maybe agnostic (the Buddha, for all we know, was both, not recognizing nor denying the existence of a or any god).
Really, it would be because I would hope to spare my child the stigma the other groups contain at the moment (as I don't belong to any on the list). If I was a member, I would probably choose one those, but as I am not, I look for the one that would probably bring them the least grief (in America, at this moment).
This isn't a judgment on the other choices, as much as it is on intolerance by others.

Agnostic - or at least a person with the will to seek his own truths - In fact I might even prefer that my child be a Buddhist as they are truly good and spritual and NOT a religion but a philosophical way of life not bent on conversion by any means.

I'm Wiccan myself but given the choices you have here, I would have to say agnostic. At the very least, their minds would continue to search and inquire. They would not find themselves in an intellectual religious trap. Their minds would be free.

I am marrying a Muslim man next month, so our children will be raised Muslim.

Agnostic. They start out being able to think outside-of-the-box, and find their own way, without dogma bogging them down.

Since I'm childless, it's pure speculation, but once they became "of age," I hope I would offer them enough respect to let them choose on their own.

I want them to figure it out for themselves. So, they'll probably start out as agnostics, and then we'll see what happens.

Duh!
Just kidding. Muslim of course! Of course they will not be ignorant of other religions.
