It can't be the Charmings because to them that's eachother and Emma. It can't be Hook, because to him that's Emma. Maybe Zelena had a new thing she loved the most? For Aurora it would have to be Phillip or the baby, which would have been born before the casting of the second curse. Auroro said something cryptic and forboding to Phillip in the mid-season premiere but I don't remember what it was. Actually, in thinking about it, I'm thinking that it might actually be Hook after all. And the heart of the thing he loved most would not be Emma, but the Jolly Roger. There's nothing in the Dark Curse that said it had to be a person, or even a living thing. Just the Heart of the thing that you love Most. And I think we can tell that (even though it bothered him) his love for the Jolly Roger eclipsed even his love of Emma (at least at the time). How the rest of it plays out I'm not sure, and it is a farfetched notion to say the least.
