Definitely Morgana, all the way.

1. Aithusa saving her provided (imo)   an awesome ending for The Sword in The Stone.

2. Morgana has been betrayed and ditched by literally every human there is, so Aithusa is all she has got!

3. Morgana being locked away was a wise choice I believe. 1. The 3 year jump was required to show Camelot in its golden age 2. If Morgana was on the loose during this time fans would be even more annoyed at how much was missed and 3. Morgana needed someone to be with when she locked away!

Plus, Morgana needs to be more of a challenge to Merlin, more on his level.

Unfortunately Aithusa doesn't seem to have been of much use to Morgana so far, though.. I mean in Arthur's Bane it didn't even look like she was particularly going to attack Merlin, Arthur and Gwaine, as she ran straight past them.

But I think it's too early to make the decision. Maybe the dragon plot will be left towards the end.

Edit: Aithusa being the 'light of the sun' could help Morgana see good again, since she shows such love and affection she shows to no one else but Mordred, which she probably doesn't anymore (but we'll find out). Aithusa is pretty much Morgana's only friend at this point! So maybe Aithusa isn't Morgana's weapon as many of us have speculated.. but we'll find out.
