So I hate to be "that guy" but... I'm pretty sure lancaster will reign supreme in the end. I should probably sibstantiate my claim so here goes, hope you don't mind a wall of text.

So during the couch scene in  volume 5 i forget which episode Ozpin, not Oscar, states that he is the conbination of many like minded men and that he and oscar would eventually merge into a single consiousness. Meaning Oscar is doomed to become a part of Ozpin. I do think Oscar and Ruby will have something before that happen wether its one sided it remains to be seen.

Also Lancaster was just sort always hinted at in the background if you pay attention the fact that jaune was the only member of team JNPR introduced in the same chapter as all members of team RWBY surely means he must be someone of interest to Ruby the character we expirience the world through. In that same episode when Ruby leaves Jaune he asks him self were he gonna find a "nice quirky girl to talk to?" and lo and behold there was Pyrrha what that bit was implying in case you missed or need it spelled out was that Pyrrha and Ruby are equals in respects to Jaune. There was the indirect kiss in dance dance infiltration and in volume 4 all the side long glances and bodily contant started to hurt.

Lastly, and this point is much more speculative, is that if ruby does have a tragic romance doomed to fail with oscar it would sort of mirror what happened with Arkos. Oscar would dissapear into an magical entity loosing himself and his relationship with ruby all for the sake of the world which was what was supposed to happen to Pyrrha when she accepted the burden of being the fall maiden. This would server as another thing in common between Jaune and Ruby as if they didn't already have so much in common, from their naivety to the shared goal of being heroes to their pension for comic books to their overall dorky personalities.

Well I believe I have thuroughly dismantled RoseGarden guess i should set my sights on blumbleby next...
