^Haise has already been noted both in the fandom and in canon to be basically a more mature and social Kuroneki. I'm pretty sure Kuroneki, not Shironeki is Kaneki's true character.

Kuro = who he is by nature; I kind person who only wished to share the understanding he gained from being both ghoul and human.

Shiro = the mindset he adopted after he was tortured, wherein he abandoned his humanity and sought to destroy anyone he saw as a threat. He actually regretted his behavior during this time (because he was hurting the people he was tryung to protect) and was trying to reclaim the humanity. And even here, he still shows his old humanity to everyone he cares about.

Besides, it makes no sense from a plot-perspective to just throw away all this development anyway.

That said, I have my doubts it'll be either option. Even without his memories now, we can see Haise making subconscious connections to his past. When he remembers again, he will still be as he is now, just with the experiences of his past to combine with his experiences now to allow him to fulfill his original goal: to bridge the world of humans and ghouls.
