I've narrowed my choice down to 4:
RX-78-2 v2.0 RX-78-2 v3.0 MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam (anyone know the improvements that its v 2.0 MG has?) RX-0 Unicorn Gundam (no MS cage, but it transforms from Unicorn to Destroy mode)
What I like and dislike about each kit at a glance:
Gundam 2.0 - Nice, authentic look of the suit from the original Mobile Suit Gundam. The colors just pop. But it does look a bit simple compared to later suits, understandably.
Gundam 3.0 - More detailed and "modern" than the 2.0, sort of what I think the unit would look like if Mobile Suit Gundam was made in the 00's instead of the late 70's. Plus it's more articulated and a fairly new kit. But it is less show-accurate compared to the 2.0.
Zeta 2.0 - I like the overall design more than the original, though I'm not sure about the transformation (though I guess it works better than it did in the original). And Kamille is my least favorite of the pilots compared to Banagher and Amuro, though I guess that doesn't matter a whole lot.
Unicorn - I love the NT-Destroy mode look, though the Unicorn mode is really plain. It's a nice design and looks like it'd be fun to build, but it lacks color compared to the others.

Anyone familiar with the "Pregnancy Test" meme?

I decided to re-watch Mobile Suit Gundam Wing. I love it more now I find the show works well if you go in knowing a little about it, since I don't think they bother to explain who the f*** some people are at first. Still a really good show, and the dub is better than the original Japanese, even if it has that one REALLY bad voice actor. You'll know him when you hear him.

Would that someone be General Septem Yes. He is hilariously abysmal, but most of the voice actors are good. Brad Swaile, for instance, is MUCH better for Quatre than the Japanese voice actor, which makes him sound like he's a 7 year old girl.

I used to dislike Gundam Wing a lot, but I've softened on it a bit. Well, that and any Gudamm series now looks good compared to SEED Destiny. If nothing else it has some really cool mobile suit designs. I always liked the Gundam Deathscythes and Heavyarms lines of suits. Epyon, too. Though the original Wing is still one of my least favorite Main Character mobile suit designs. Wing Zero was a distinct improvement. TV version anyway; I think the Zero Custom with the angelic feathery wings in Endless Waltz was real corny.

I like the original Deathscythe a lot, but Hell is one of my favorite AU mobile suit designs. Hell, I like it a lot more than a lot of UC designs, too.
