As it becomes more and more clear that "Life" does not require the arbitrary elements once assigned by our minds and existence...What do you folks consider the most likely place we will find it?

Discussion with the sci fi reader resulted in either Io or Encelydus. Wherever there is water.

Io has no water, it is one big volcano (actually 600 or so) in constant eruption...pretty cool though.

Actually Mercury is not tidally locked, it is in spin-orbit resonance, rather than being tidally locked. it is locked to its own orbit around the Sun in a 3:2 resonance. Every part of it gets sunlight at some point and would be baked into a char.
