Other than Supergirl that is. We all have heard the reasons why she wasn't included, mainly as a editorial dictate back in the Silver Age.
Back then the DCU was primarily:
Side (A): Superman Family + Legion
Side (B): Justice League + Titans
Somewhere in the middle as a bridge: Batman Family
Coincidently, that is why I feel that there is no "BIG 3" in the DCU, rather, Wonder Woman should be lumped in with Aquaman, Green Arrow, Martian Manhunter, etc. rather than Bats and Supes.
Obviously, that’s changed in the last thirty years with E2, SHAZAM family, Charlton and other heroes entering the main E1 DCU. But if it all started out together, who else would be included?

Captain Marvel Jr was a member at one point wasn't he?
Didn't Judo Master have a sidekick?
Power Girl? Huntress?
Also don't know how young some of the Outsiders were?

I always wondered what it would've been like to have Firestorm (Ronnie, of course!) as a member of the Titans. He's about the same age as Cyborg, so it would've made sense.

On a unified earth, it would might have made more sense for the Infinitors to try to join the Titans rather than the JSA or form their own group.

Freddie and Mary definitely would have fit, so would the original Star Spangled Kid. Sandy would have been a natural as would Wing, both being sidekicks. Geo-Force should have been somewhere along the line but never was. And Kid Eternity (Kit Freeman) would have made for some rather interesting adventures.

since he has sort of tied in with the animated DCU i always thought that Static would eventually make it over from the milestone U to the reg DCU and join the Titans.

I really like the idea of Mon-El. It would have been hella-kewl to see him in 'ghost' form helping out via the Phantom Zone, somehow communicating with them.
I wish Static could have come over too, and I know many at DC wanted him too. He was a cool character.

Other Titans that should have joined the original team
Janu the Jungle Boy - where once Janu was side by side with Congo Bill, by the Silver Age, all he did was play with his hair and watch Bill's body while Congorilla was off bustin' heads and being awesome. Surely he could have found something better to do with the Titans!
Jimmy Olsen - He was practically Robin's best friend, and his celebrity status could have really upped the anty when things got all groovy and far-out as only the 60's could do!
(Young) Tommy Tomorrow - kind of like the reverse of Superboy and the Legion!
(Young) Cleopatra - Donna can't hog *all* the guys! Surely Young Cleopatra would have attempted to force Robin to marry her. Years later when she realized she was stuck with Mark Anthony and not the Boy Wonder, she might just kill herself!

I agree with Jimmy Olsen (SUPERMAN #13, 1941), Janu (ACTION COMICS #191, 1954), and Tommy Tomorrow (REAL FACT COMICS #6, 1947 - as a teenager - ACTION COMICS #255, 1959)(great idea, btw!).
I'll add the following DC Characters who appeared before the Titans debut in 1964 -
