No - what possible benefit would she get from doing so?
Bill Clinton would be valuable to Hillary for two reasons.
1. He is an enormously popular figure who would help her get elected.
2. He would be a valuable advisor and confidante.
Either of these can be maximised simply by having him as first gentleman. This offers the ability to bring another head and name into the campaign as running mate.

Actually John T is wrong about the VP needing to be eligible to be President - I just checked and the Constitution makes no such mention.
Still, she won't pick him because VPs disappear into the dust.
He would make a much better Cabinet member such as Secretary of State. And that may be true regardless of who the next Democratic president is.

There is no prohibition for a candidate for President to have a husband as her running mate under any law.
VOTE for your choice as US President on my 360 degrees blog and know whether it is possible for Hillary to pick pick as VP.

Bill can run as a vice presidential candidate because he is not eligible to run as president. The vice president must be eligible to be president.
As he has already served 2 terms, the answer is no.

She can't, since they live together in the same state.
edit
A thumbs down for knowing the Constitution, interesting note.

I think she'll pick Barack for VP...that would be a unstopable team
