Have to say, I'm not all that interested in additional civs. Afterall, there's not a lot of difference in the way the different civs play to change my overall gameplay experience to a great extent (this is in my limited experience, of course).
I'd much rather an expansion focus on new buildings, extend technologies beyond 'Future Tech', new terrain and resource types, new units for all current civs, and add additional features (like the ability to migrate population between cities). Those would add a lot more to the game than civs would.

Ethiopia!- Great civ choice for the following reasons
1)Its in Africa
2)Through most of its history it been a major regional power in terms of trade, military might, and culture
3)Its got hundreds of leaders spanning its history, including several of the ever precious female rulers that firaxis likes to put in
4)It well known, in todays world mainlly for drought and poverty, but including it in a game like civ is the perfect way to enlighten people to the past of what really is a country with a magnificent history
Byzantium- the great Orthidox nation of eastern europe, one fo the major preservers of classical thougth and wisdom to be restored to the western world, fully diserves to be main civ, rather then a minor inclusion in the middle ages scenario

Ethiopia/Abyssinia is the only country to resist European colonization. Which is more than even China or India can say. They're near the top of the list, along with the Turks/Ottomans. Can't ignore Scandinavia too long, as well as the Portugese and Dutch for their role in colonization. I'd add the Phonecians in there for their role in early civilization, but also the height of their empire which stretched from Lebanon to Carthage. And after all that, the Mayans and Celts would fit.
So, if I had to choose 8:
1. Turkish
2. Abyssinian
3. Scandinavian (Nautical)
4. Portugese (Nautical)
5. Dutch (Nautical)
6. Phonecian (Nautical)
7. Mayan
8. Celts
As you can see, 4 of those civilizations are famous for their use of water for exploration and/or trade. Could be a good opportunity to add a new trait, and shuffle around some of the old ones so you can still have roughly unique civ choices.

Babylonians - No brainer
Turks - likewise
Norse - Fun Factor
Byzantines - They're already in a scenario, might as go all the way
Maya - Mesoamerica is always cool
Khmers - Southeast Asia is always unrepresented in Civ. If you have Angkor Wat in the game, you might as well have the people who built it.
Thai - To go along with the Khmers
Ethiopians - Xen's post essentially sums it up
Dutch - As evil and reviled as eurocentricity is, The Netherlands deserve a spot in game
Portuguese - See above
Koreans - Another east asian power would be nice, and it makes sense from a sales point of view.
Brazilians - If America is in, other post-colonial civs deserve a spot as well, and Brazil's the next best choice.
Carthaginians - Who doesn't want to recreate the Punic wars?
Hawaiians - Yeah, Hawai'i didn't have a huge impact on world affairs, but it's different, it fills up an empty area of the map, and I think it'd be fun to play as.
Iroquois - Can't forget the Native Americans. The Iroquois Confederacy is the closest thing to a state you could hope to find in pre-Columbian North America. If they were good enough for Civ 3, they're good enough for C-IV.

There are many worthy civs that could be included. The beauty of Civ 4 is that apparently it will be easy to mod in these things.
My vote is for the Vietnamese. South-East Asia is not represented in the game right now. They have a fascinating history having defeated their powerful neighbours the Chinese on many occasions. They defeated a huge Mongol army as well. They also defeated the French, Americans and Chinese in the 20th century. Having soundly defeated four civs that are currently in the game has to give them strong consideration at least. Just my two cents anyway. It really is a wonderful game.
Kudos to Sid Meir. ^^

One More Turn...
I would like any firaxian to start a poll here at civfanatics with all the possible expansion packs civs, and then they pick the top X winners, where X is the number of civs they will include in the expansion.
If that is not possible, I will start a poll when the time is right, and hopefully
some firaxian will read it and take it into account.
