Brandon was picked by Harriet after he wrote a eulogy on his website and she read one of his books
Yup, making his wishes clear (that he would like AMOL to be finished if he died before doing so himself) and enthrusting the final decisions to Harriet and his friend Tom (which he did during one of Doherty's last visits - during a stay at Mayo, IRRC) without imposing the task on them was as far as he was willing to go. It must have been painful and depressing enough to deal with that without having to look for young writers who could possibly finish WOT in his place.

Erikson's books are fantastic, but the characterization could not be more different than WoT's.

Well there is a reason Jordan chose Sanderson to finish the series for him

Harriet's last name isn't Jordan so I'm assuming you mean Michael Jordan

RJ didn't pick anyone. He tried to finish it before he died.

I enjoyed the book but I don't think his prose were as good as Jordan's

Name of the Wind, and its recent sequel Wise Man's Fear are really, really good.

Honestly, they kind of remind me of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, if Giles was the main character.

I feel the same about Wot as you, and Robin Hobb is a great recommendation!
