But assuming that they chose Mankind, then Elladan COULD be reincarnated. (Formendhacil)

Elves are the one reincarnated.

Now, here's the catch: the decision to reincarnate Elves is left with Mandos (and Manwe). And if those Elves have not lived good enough lives, they are sunk. Feanor, to mention a specific case, because of the terrible evil of his deeds, will remain in Mandos until the end of Arda. (Formendhacil)

I think Fëanor (and Finwë) are special example of Elves and should not be considered when talking about general Eldarin afterlife.
Fëanor is stuck in Mandos 'til the end of time, due to his evil deeds, and perhaps his love for his father. Now Finwë--why him? Because he had married twice. He had married Indis while Míriel refused to leave the Halls of Mandos. But when he died, Míriel returned to life, and Finwë could not return and be bound to two, as that's frowned upon in some societies (like Calaquendian ones).
Or I don't know. I'm just getting these from second-hand sources (the smart chaps in the Downs who have actually read
HoME X).
