Brett Beach: I find it hurts my eyes (in a bad, painful eye) to look at Robert Pattinson too long and I don't think he has much to offer as an actor at the moment so I am going to say, post-Twilight, he becomes next decade's Michael Schoeffling. Taylor Lautner is buff and if he wants to keep taking that shirt off, he should go right ahead. Potential action franchise in his future. Kristen Stewart seems to be the one everybody loves to hate. Well, I love to love her. I think she's most interesting when she plays up her androgynous unconventional beauty and I am very excited to catch her in The Runaways. The Twilight films seem to ask the least of her which may be why it's easy for the female fans to imagine themselves up there on the screen instead of her? I also like that, along with Anne Hathaway, Stewart is someone who doesn't make it easy to like her up on screen, but she remains compelling nonetheless. She gets crucified a lot for non-acting or a small bag of tricks but I think people are missing a lot of what she accomplishes with subtlety. Out of these three she has a career before and after and I am willing to venture, an Oscar nom by her 30th.

Michael Lynderey: I'd say Kristen Stewart. Robert Pattinson, like many English actors, has a knack for playing historical characters in period pieces that usually don't add up to much box office - I present his roles as Salvador Dali (Little Ashes) and, post-Twilight, Guy de Maupassant (in the upcoming Bel Ami) as evidence. Something tells me this will be the general course of his career. It's kind of hard to pigeonhole Taylor Lautner - he's the youngest of the bunch, still a teenager - and it's not real clear what he'll be up to a few years from now. As for Stewart, she came into the Twilight movies with the most acting experience - the biggest variety of roles, which is more key - and I suspect she'll keep on that road after Twilight is finished, for a long time. After all, she's generally been considered a good actress, and that's exactly what she'll continue to be.

Pete Kilmer: Stewart without a doubt wants to be the indie film princess of the moment. But will she be able to do it? I don't know. Pattison will forever be Edward unless he undergoes some kind of career shift to get into Hugh Grant's territory for romantic movies.

Kim Hollis: I'm just going to go with none of them. We'll be watching a "Where Are They Now?" special about all three in a decade.

David Mumpower: I like at this as an upside vs. productivity discussion. The reality is that Kristen Stewart is already one of the most successful women in the history of the industry in terms of box office performance. Re-read that sentence and take a moment to weigh the ramifications if you want. No matter what you think of her, she is going to be get cast in a couple of films a year for the next 25 years as long as she doesn't become a burnout like Lindsay Lohan or a brat like Shannen Doherty. As long as she avoids behavioral issues and addictions, she's not just employable but a highly sought out commodity. It is what it is.

The men, on the other hand, are trickier to gauge. This is a phallocentric industry for the most part, meaning that men get paid better and offered parts with better potential as a rule. Both Pattinson and Lautner have been given the advantage that they embody characters that women love. They too have that asset in their pockets as they move forward in their careers. Lautner in particular is intriguing in that he isn't ridiculous looking (I know he's popular but if you just look at Robert Pattinson, he is a goofy looking dude). Lautner is also still young enough to be trained at his craft by the best in the world earlier than most professionals in the industry were. He should be doing a high school musical of High School Musical. Instead, he's just starred in the third biggest opener of all time. If he takes this opportunity seriously, he could develop into the next Tom Cruise. Alternately, he can relish the celebrity lifestyle like so many child actors do (he still qualifies for that term for another few months) and wash out. So, I see Stewart as the safest pick but Lautner has the most upside as a star if he takes his craft seriously.
