I'd rather have Ai turn back to Shiho. After all, she's an important witness of the organization's crime. I want her to testify their crimes. I also want her to face her fate bravely as Shiho instead of running away by staying as Ai and undo her childhood life. I don't mind if she doesn't have any lover at the end of the story. She's an amazing woman, so I'm sure there will be many men chasing after her once she's free from the organization, but if she has to have a lover, I think she'll be a good match for Saguru Hakuba. Saguru isn't just a capable detective. He also has good manner and personality. In addition, his family own a research center. Shiho can get a more normal life with him and her talent wouldn't be wasted.
I don't like Shinichi, but I have to admit he and Shiho could become a good couple. Unfortunately, currently he already has Ran, so I guess that means he's out of the list.

Shiho and Rei? Hmm, it's true Rei's relationship with Elena might do good to his relationship with Shiho, but I think they wouldn't have romantic relationship since their age gap is large. Shiho's still 18 while Rei is already 29. At best their relationship will be like siblings, I think.
I also doubt Rei can ensure her a pretty much normal life just because he's a PSB agent. In fact, precisely because he's a PSB agent he might not be able to let Shiho have a normal life. His line of work often invites danger and this might put Shiho in the same situation. Even now he has to work with three identities: a PSB agent, a private eye, and a member of BO. He wouldn't have time to accompany Shiho like any other lover. Not  to mention Rei is a patriot and he even stated to Conan that his lover is his country (movie 22). Shiho will never be his priority. If they end up as a couple, It is highly probable their life will be similar to Tsutomu Akai and Mary. Shiho will often be left alone.
It's probably true Shiho will be able to deal with any kind of danger Rei brings with him since she's intelligent and have experience in it (she grew up in the organization after all), but in the end I still think their large age gap would make it difficult for them to reach romantic relationship.

You have many points there. I'll elaborate on them in the near future. But let me just sketch a few points before I am forced to log out. 

- though Rei might not ensure Shiho a normal life, he can cover up her complicated past and thus guarantee her a pretty good basis for a normal life if she wants to.

- I wasn't thinking of a 24/7 lovey-dovey for the two of them; as written above. They just are not the type for that. 

- the patriotic part of Rei is my only problem. The question is: where does Shiho's loyalty lie?

For me, the ship would be very much fulfilled if they decided to live together and pierce out Elena, as in Rei being the one who brings Shiho closer to her mom. Of course the age gap is a problem; the relationship of a very close, almost-family friend would already make me reach my shipping heaven. But a full-fledged romance might go just as well. 

 

I can very much imagine Rei capable of not only setting her straight in moments of Shiho's weakness which might increase when there is no fear to overshadow it, but also capable of riling her up if she should lose herself in the emptiness after the BO is taken down. Besides I think Rei (and Hakuba as well) has a complementary personality to Shiho's more mature side. They can keep each other on their toes and support each other on rainy days due to their (more or less) common past. 

 

That is my problem with Hakuba. He's a great guy and I'd entrust him with someone of Shiho's calibre but a) they have no plot connection and b) chances of him turning into a blushing schoolboy are higher than with Rei, esp. because I remember it happening to him to some character (was it Ran?). At that moment, I think he won't be compatible with Shiho. 

 

That is my reason for a Sherry Bourbon ship. Just imagine the tension that could build up!

 

The reason why I can't imagine an Akai×Shiho is mostly because of Akai×Akemi. Shiho might be suffocated by her sister's shadow on Akai.

Just asking... what do you think of shiho rei? Rei did cling to Elena a lot and maybe he will come to like Ai very much. Plus she wouldn't need to explain anything to him cuz he would know and besides he is part of the Japanese Public Security bureau thus he can ensure her a pretty much normal life or a bit of excitement whenever she wishes...? Or would you rather put a death flag on him?
