I think, regardless of what storyline they go with, the main thing they need to do in the next movie is just let Superman actually BE Superman and not some moody emo kid that doesn't smile for the entire movie. The best part about Superman is that he is a symbol of hope, he represents the best of humanity, despite the fact that he technically isn't even human. Fortunately, now that he's dead, this opens up the possibility for this version of Superman to be introduced into the DCMU. With Justice League already being split into a two-part movie, have Darkseid appear and just plunge the world into darkness and despair. The Justice League are out matched despite their best efforts. Humanity starts to rethink their views on Superman and yearn for a savior to swoop down from the heavens and save the day. All hope is lost. And then, just when things are at their worst, BAM! Superman comes back to life, the symbol of hope he was always intended to be. The source of unabashed good we desperately missed in the other movies. Maybe his time in the Kryptonian afterlife pacified him, I don't know, but the point is, THIS is the Superman we all know and love, the Superman from the Pre-New 52 continuity. Their savior returned, humanity loves him, the Justice League is fully assembled behind their new leader, and Darkseid gets his ass handed to him and banished back to Apokolips.
That's my wish list for how they handle the next movie, but in regards to the next solo Superman film, honestly I would love to see Brainiac from Geoff John's "Brainiac" storyline or Bryan Cranston as Lex Luthor Sr. in the green and purple power armor.
