I agree that Erb/University and Victoria are the most likely next-candidates for rapid transit, particularly if the transit hub is redeveloped intensely. I think going all the way to Guelph is a big dream, but it's not impossible: the distance is not that great. I've never heard of a proposal for an LRT link between downtown and U of G, though.
Victoria between the big box plaza known as the boardwalk and Breslau. That would be a similar length to Phase I, serve the densest part of the region but also some growth areas, and Victoria is ripe for intensification in many places. It could serve the airport if there was the will. I haven't thought about the right of way, but it seems to me it would be relatively simple through most of that stretch to add tracks in the existing rail corridor adjacent to Victoria. That might be off base, though.
