Cory Booker is too nice and well-mannered from a state with a Republican governor to be on the ticket in this election.

FTFY. Unless NJ has a special election mandate like MA there's just no way Hillary can in good conscience pick him. Control of the senate is on a knife-edge and letting Chris "Trump's new best friend" Christie pick his replacement would be a ridiculous unforced error.

Booker got his seat in a special election a few months after Lautenberg died.

Christie would get to appoint a replacement to hold office until the special election.  Last time he appointed someone who was not going to run for the office, this time he may or may not follow the same plan
