I don't think we'll get any "ending" to this show at all, at least anytime soon.

First off, Maria is the only one who hasn't heard Hayate's confession of having a girlfriend at a very young age, IIRC. This provokes the odds of it being Maria.

Excuse me?
... this rabid and rude abusive brat, Maria? No way. Absolutely impossible.

And after seeing Maria during high-school, one can't help but feel a connection between the enigma of a childhood love, and herself, showing how it was possible for her to change so much between school and now, gives the possibility the youth could've also gone change to become the Maria of today.

Maria is the one character who I consider IMPOSSIBLE for a Hayate final match. It would deprive Nagi of both her dream lover (Hayate) and surrogate mother (Maria) at the same time.

Putting aside Maria, comes Nagi. The whole story was based around Nagi and Hayate. I'm sure the mangaka knew that Hinagiku was gonna be big, and expected a strong fanbase, but to the point that Nagi is being put in the shadow..... I doubt that's going according to plan. Nagi is still in the spotlight here, and I don't think a sudden drop is going to happen. How is it possible to drop her when the story is revolving around her infatuation with Hayate.

I'd say that Nagi is the clear intended match, look at how massively she's pushed in the anime.
In my opinion the mangaka didn't expect her to become the huge favorite of the fanbase. It's rather that she's a stroke of genius, a big crowd-pleaser. Therefore he can't really axe her. Also, she's the only character which constantly receives long-range story arcs with lasting character development (compared to the weeklies for the other characters, and the fairly random Nagi chapters).
Anyway, a Hina end run is only a pleasant dream. But a dream anyway
