If Sony was to greenlight Bloodborne 2 without From, which studio would you prefer?

Never underestimate the power of a booze-fueled bender.
Team Ninja or Ninja Theory or Platinum Studios. But yeah, Deck13 is the most obvious choice
For Dark Souls 4 why not take the Deep Down team from Capcom. After EA hardening up on games not having loot boxes - a Assassin's Creed-meets Dark Souls loot box-game would realistically be the next Souls anyway, sadly.

They shouldn't do that. But I would pick Japan Studio. (But please let them work on a new SIREN!!!)-

So true. Lots of gaffers thought horizon was going to be shit because guerilla only made killzone games.
You have me there!

Gah, everyone that said "NO ONE/UNTHINKABLE", you guys are no fun.
Course we don't want anyone but From and Miyazaki on this, but as a hypothetical situation it's interesting.
For me I do think Capcom has potential.
Capcom at their best have created REmake, DMC, Onimusha. Combine the great level design of REmake with the combat expertise they've shown with DMC, Onimusha, Monster Hunter and it's easy to see them translating those skills to a Bloodborne sequel.
And Naughty Dog is sick dude. Thing is, if Guerilla Games can transition from first person shooters to open world action games with siick combat, don't see why ND couldn't make a transition if they wanted. ND just seems like a talented studio that focuses on linear games because that's what they want to make right now. At the very least, at least the framerate would be stable ^_^
Also SOTN team

Based on the combat in Heavenly Sword and Hellblade it would never even get close to the quality of the original.

Right?
I think people dont understand that all these studios have experienced and talented professionals that have played, loved and worked on a variety of games over the years.
I mean, Naughty Dog started with mascot platformers guys.
Of course each studio has its strenghs built by the experience of years working in the same franchises and so on. But it is absolutely ridiculous to think that a studio cant approach and tackle different genres. Guerrila truly is the best example currently.
And it is actually very fun to think about it, if nothing else.

if from isn't working on a souls-like, which i believe they said they weren't....why wouldn't sony greenlight either demon's 2 or bloodborne 2?

There's no question that developers can do more than what they're known for, the real problem is nobody seems to be able to do what FROM can with Souls and Bloodborne. Western studios in particular have shown very little sign of being able to craft a truly amazing combat system, let alone one that could approach Souls in terms of quality. Games that try to emulate Souls have by and large been watered down experiences that can't capture the series' magic.
Western studios like Naughty Dog would have to do a lot to convince me they could handle it, and even Japanese studios known for their combat such as Platinum tilt more towards fast-paced combo-driven character action, which is not suitable to Souls.
I realize the OP doesn't want the answer "No Bloodborne without FROM" but this is a title where the combat is more beloved than the franchise itself, the gameplay is the core appeal. No other studio has shown that they'd be able to capture it, and so a rehashing would likely be Souls in name only.
