Southee has time on his side, and I feel it would be a mistake to bring in an 18-year-old unless he was supremely talented (i.e. one of Rachael's 9-10/10 players). So that rules Southee out.

As for the other two, it's a question of how far we want the batting line up to go. If we have to rely on our all-rounder for runs, I'd put Hiini in the side, but if it's bowling we're primarily after, I'd plump for Scott. It's a question of balance...

...and with this line up I'd go for Scott. For now.
