I'm guessing he picked them as leaders because he had the most expectation from them. I dunno what could he expect from Jaune tho, that's still a mystery. The best I can come up with is that his Aura and therefore Semblance are special in some way hence why he wants to train him in those and why the show especifically pointed out that's where he has most potential but no training yet.

I always found weird that Jaune has lots of Aura yet can't endure much damage unlike other characters such as Yang and Cardin but Ozpin's comment about "strengthen Oscar's Aura" makes me think you really do have to train your Aura to unleash its full potential which might involve increasing its endurance. Also, IIRC the creators said this volume will further explain Aura and Semblance so that might be saying something about Jaune (and Oscar).

Speaking of which, what do you people think of the fact that Jaune's Aura is white like Weiss'? She's very powerful when it comes to Aura and Dust plus inherited her Semblance. Maybe he will be a similar case based on his type of Aura? Like how Pyrrha's Aura turned black when she used her polarity semblance and the gravity dust just happens to be black-colored as well. Coincidence?
