I have not seen any of them in their respective movies, so I am basing it on looks and reputation alone, lol, but yeah, I've heard a lot of people say the same about Breslin.
Given that they're both Oscar nominees, I suspect either Lawrence or Steinfeld have the acting chops, and they've both played Katniss-esque roles. Hailee's closer to Katniss' physical description (olive skin and black hair), but that's nothing makeup and hair dye can't fix.
Hailee's just so YOUNG. Maybe they can make her look older, but I dunno... I look at her and I think, "I do NOT want to watch her make out with Peeta in a cave." Lawrence is older, but probably not too old. It just depends how long it takes them to film the whole trilogy. If she's 25 trying to play 17, she may look too old.
(And once again, I'm back to wondering why there are no actual 16-year-olds being talked about.)
