I'd choose Perry over Romney, and I think that's basically the choice we're faced with if we've already put aside voting for Obama or a third party.
I'd prefer Pawlenty because I think he's less dogmatically conservative economically than Perry and less flakey than Romney, but I don't see a path for him. He's as close to generic R as the Republicans are going to get, but the primary voters don't want generic. I would also take Huntsman over Romney, but that's going nowhere.
Perry, however, is probably the only candidate that can be described as mainstream that won't cause the Tea Party types to go apesh*t, and won't drive away people en masse like Bachmann would.
Maybe TPaw will win the straw poll and find his footing, maybe Hunstsman will have a great debate performance and make his case to the non-grassroots. For now though I'm with you, Perry it is...
