I personally would have liked an Ultimate Cherno Alpha. There really isn't much room for improvement in the original (it's pretty much perfect), but the addition of some lights in the reactor tower and cockpit would have been cool...there's plenty of room inside for 'em.

Even though I loved Pacific Rim, I'm not sure how jazzed I am for the sequel. Different writer, different director, none of the original cast are returning...usually that kind of film falls into the "direct to video" category. Besides, as much as I would have liked to see Del Toro do a sequel himself, the first movie has a fairly definitive ending with pretty much everything being wrapped up. I'd want the premise of the sequel to be a bit more involved than "oh, they're back for more."

That said, I'd like to see the Jagers a little tougher and better armed this time around. Any Jager that wasn't named Gypsy Danger was a total pussy in the original...I was way pissed when Cherno Alpha went out like a bitch. The Russian team was awesome and deserved to kick ass.
