WARNING! LONG WINDED RESPONSE!

Personally I'm leaning tword Lancaster (They need a better ship name IMO). While I do think Rosegarden is a cute idea, I'm not exactly fond of it. While yes, there's the same age gap between Ruby and Jaune as there is between Ruby and Oscar, remember that Oscar is still 14. This is not to say such a relationship is impossible, but that it is, at least at the moment, unlikely. Coupling that with the part of Oscar and Ospin's "two souls one body" thing I feel its kinda offputing to think of the two together, yes they will be one person, with Oscar inheriting Ospin's memories and muscle memory, we don't know how far off that is, nor to what extent it will affect and thus change Oscar. Oscar is also a new adition to the story, and hasn't had the time to connect like the rest have, pair that with the mentor role of Ospin which will be taken by Oscar when they become one person, and it doesn't look all that great.

With the case of Jaune and Ruby, I don't think it will happen for a while, if it does happen. With Pyrrha's death and the things going on in the world, their relationship will either be a slow build up (what I'm hoping will happen), or we'll be taking a break through the story for no other reason than to rush a relationship that shouldn't be yet. Conserning their relationship however I feel they would be a good pair, Jaune was her first friend at Beacon, when Ruby journeyed off to haven Jaune took what was left of his team and assisted her. Durring that journey they had 6-8 months together to better connect and help eachother recover, though its apparent Jaune is still recovering from the trauma. Jaune is also a good foil for Ruby, and due to this they can understand eachother better while still being different enough to be good for eachother, both oppsites attract, and birds of a feather. I know it's cliche to do the main boy X main girl, but cliche doesn't mean bad, it became used alot for a reason, because pairing the main boy and girl generally works well due to the focus being on them we can see how they complement eachother and how they effect eachother. There is also symbolism for the two hidden through the series (or I'm just looking too hard into things :P) such as the statue at Becon showing a male knight and a hooded female standing over the grim together. This is comming from the series that forshadows alot of things, with even the simplest things like how Jaune was there for Ruby in episode two while weiss and blake walked away and yang stayed with those she knew back when Ruby first came to Beacon mirroring how Jaune was there for Ruby when she left for her journey while Weiss and Blake did their own things and yang stayed with those she knew at the end of season 3. I have not seen however any symbolism or forshadowing for Rosegarden to be a thing however.

I'd say more in favor of Jaune X Ruby, but I've typed enough of a wall of text as is.
