Hey, it's good to get a variety of opinions! Thanks for the comment.
It's been a while since I read the books, but I thought the witches are referred to as not human (though they do have children with humans), and witches certainly have daemons.
When I included the TARDIS-daemon option, I was thinking about armored bears, whose armor is their soul. Personally, I agree that TARDISes are too independent to be Time Lord daemons. However, arguing for that option, people and their daemons aren't always going to react identically to a given situation if they're in internal conflict about it. Since this is a hypothetical AU anyway, I think it's a reasonable stretch. Also, recall that in the HDM books, the large majority of people have a daemon of the opposite gender, so the fact that the Doctor is (so far) male and his TARDIS is female actually supports this scenario.
