A 2.0 with whatever quality control improvements they implement on the Fire Valkyrie would be awesome. Ideally, what I'd want is something close to lineart in battroid mode with a sleek fighter mode like the Hasegawa 1/72 kit. It is a difficult achievement, but Yamato tends to outdo themselves quite often. The jump in quality/design/engineering from the V1 1/60 VF-1 to the 1/48 VF-1 not even that many years later was astounding.
