I have to go with the majority here. Demon doesn't bother me. Seraphim would immediately turn me off as too religious for what i enjoy reading. As for number 1. I think a lot of it would have to do on how it was handled. Does he just get hungry and eat whoever's closest or is there usually something beyond hunger that convinces him to consume his own species. I think it comes down more to whether or not his behavior has any sort of scruples or morals behind it. in other words, behavior your audience can balance the non-acceptable behavior with. If he's little more than a ravening monster then he's not likely to be an enjoyable character as a protag. Give him personality and reason your readers can identify with, or create a world where ravening is so completely acceptable that he's the good guy because on average he only eats one neighbor a month rather than three *grin* and you might have something. Anything can be done. it all comes down to how you make it acceptable.
