Velanna would have made much more sense, she was already full of rage and all about murderous vengeance as part of her character, unlike Anders who was a lot more rational and had to be driven much more crazy by Justice to become what he did. But Velanna didn't care about mage rights nearly as much as she did elven rights, and DA2's biggest conflict would have been different in nature. It might still have gone the way it did, as the Chantry was as oppressive to elves as mages, but Velanna wouldn't have stopped there, it wouldn't have been enough for the elves for her.

Plus, like someone else mentioned, we might have lost Merrill's character (too many elves) and needed a new male human character in place of Anders. Maybe Finn from Witch Hunt?* Who knows. The structure of the game would have been different.

All that said, I believe we could have had Anders without his character being so drastically altered to fulfill the role necessary for the narrative. The writers for him changed between the two games and it showed.

EDIT: Someone pointed out that Jowan would have made a great companion in DA2, and I agree. He would have provided that same needy woobie do-gooder quality that made Anders so popular, without actually being ax-crazy.
