Hmm.. Also which side of the conflict were on would be important too.. If we're all going to be on the same side (which I agree with), I'd rather be on the zeon side as too often to my experience they're just put off and labeled as faceless baddies, what with their German looking zakus and whatnot. 

I personally don't like the idea of 10 of us flying super specialized gundams with their own special gimmick, but thats just because I have a soft spot/preference for mass produced and customized mechs
