I've seen a meme on Facebook, stating that Daryl Hall was asked to Join Van Halen, but turned Eddie Van Halen down. Honestly, I'd have a very difficult time seeing this hypothetically play out. If Hager had not come into the picture, David Coverdale of Whitesnake may have been a interesting choice.
Whitesnake didn't have there breakthrough album in The USA until 1987. Slide it in, which was released in 1984, I believe went gold but didn't really capture a large audience. Slow and Easy is one of Whitesnake's best tracks in my view and is heard on Classic Rock stations at times.
One those "Might of been's" .

Van Halen with Daryl Hall(of Hall and Oats)?
Re: Van Halen with Daryl Hall(of Hall and Oats)?
Whitesnake "Ready An Willian" in 1980 had the original "Fool For Your Loving" song. In late 1980, the live album "In The Heart Of The City" came out. Both albums were played on 96 WHNN in Saginaw, MI (when it was a hard rock station). That station did not play 1981 "Come & Get It" (title track from the album). The 1982 original version of "Here I Go Again" was on "Saints & Sinners".
Re: Van Halen with Daryl Hall(of Hall and Oats)?
I think it was a good move to change the lyric "Hobo" to "Drifter", when "Here I go again" was re-recorded for the 1987 album. Coverdale I believe was disappointed with how Saints and Sinners was produced.

"OK, one break... coming up"
Hall would join VH for what? Their 'soulful' side? Tambourine?
I like Daryl Hall & liked Van Halen.
However, a 'Van Hallen' would have been a catastrophe.
