Depends: There is growing research and developments in using saliva to test for a multitude of conditions and diseases going on right now. There are saliva tests for diabetes, oral cancer, hiv, caries susceptibility (cavity risk), and more. But urine is still valuable for diagnostic testing and i don't think it is going away.

Depends: It depends on what you are testing. Saliva is thought to be the new frontier of bioanalysis and with evaluation techniques improving this should become a valuable diagnostic modality in the future.
