I sort of lean towards the Heimdall theory, not just because of his eye colour and the soul-seeing thing he does, but the fact that there's an orange gem/stone thing in the centre of his armour? Am I the only one who saw that? It doesn't look like an Infinity Stone at first glance, but looking closer, it looks like parts of it is concealed within his armour, or even Heimdall himself (sort of like Tony and his arc reactor). Also, not to mention the time in Age of Ultron when Thor had that vision of him back in Asgard, but Heimdall was blinded and his armour was stripped from him. Apparently that scene was supposed to connect with Ragnarok, and I have to say, if it does, then it would make a great deal of sense for Heimdall to have the gem, and have it taken from him, leaving him in that state.

However, the Hel and Hela theory also seems rather likely, since she is the goddess of Death (and possibly the MCU version of Death herself?), and would take souls into her possession. In the comics I believe Thanos' main purpose behind him collecting the Infinity Stones is to woo Hela? So if that's the case with the MCU then Thanos could possibly convince Hela of the powers that he would be able to gain from all the Stones, and rule the universe with her, or whatever (which would be tempting for her to agree too, considering the fact that she's trying to take over Asgard already).

I think it's pretty likely that they'll have all the Stones out there before they release Infinity War, just so they don't have to introduce anything else new, since the size of the film is increasing exponentially day by day. Since it can't be in Guardians Vol.2, it would have to be in Ragnarok, or possibly Black Panther, but I feel as though Black Panther would be too invested in exploring the past and history of T'Challa and the other Black Panthers to bring in another Stone. I'm not too sure though, but it has to be either of those two, Adam Warlock isn't a stable theory since Magus is confirmed to appear in Infinity War, and that's the evil version of him, I don't know if they'd bring in Adam too. The gem on Heimdall's armor is too small to be the Soul Stone. Also, it has been confirmed by Marvel to be an artistic rendering of Heimdall's watch over the Nine Realms. Basically, the gem is that color because his eyes are that color. His eyes are not that color because of the gem.

There is also the scene from Thor: The Dark World where they say they moved the Aether because the Tesseract was on Asgard and they don't want 2 Infinity Stones that close.

Given all that, if it does appear in Thor: Ragnarok it seems that Hela will have it.

Also, it has been confirmed by Marvel that the vision with Heimdall in Age of Ultron was a vision of Hel, not Valhalla.
