You've got a perfect solider who is genetically supirior to all, and then you've got a clone of him, that only posseses his dominant genes - essentially you are only making that clone out of those genes, which makes it difficult to answer.
You then fall into the debate of Solid vs. Liquid, which is essentially Nurture vs. Nature. Is Solid Snake the best soldier ever simply because he was conditioned to be that? How does one go about saying that Naked Snake is the perfect soldier? Shouldn't Solidus be the perfect one? Considering he's a combinition of the best dominant and recessive genes of Big Boss.
Personally I think Naked Snake is the perfect soldier, however Solid Snake isthe perfect mercenery.

Actually, it was Solid Snake that possessed the recessive genes, Liquid possessed the dominant. Liquid was told that he was the inferior one, but was misinformed (listen to Ocelot's conversation with Solidus at the end of MGS1's credits).
Same world, totally new characters and storyline. With the exception of maybe (I'm just throwing this out there as an example), an Otacon in his old age, and a grown up Sunny. Keep the rest of the characters as just history in the new storyline, their story ended just fine with MGS4.
On a side note, I would dance naked in the rain if they did a remake of MG and MG2. Outer Heaven and Zanzibar Land FTW!!!
