I doubt it will be the A380.

Also doubt that it will be a 777.

In 2009 Airbus declined to participate in the bid for the new AF1.

I also remember reading sometime ago (but i'm not able to find the source...) that Boeing will push 747-800 production up to fulfill this bid, after it they will probably pull the plug at the 747 line.
