My answers are "A" across the board - I'm not comfortable enough with
2040 to answer that one.

Who?
> Aoyama Motoko
(From "Love Hina".) Makoto would probably jump at the chance - she'd
be fighting for the right (and thus would get along with Nene), using
her abilities as a top-notch fighter (connecting with Linna), and
showing off some fancy swordplay (and could work alongside Sylia). On
the other hand, her temper's as nasty as Priss'.
Once she's in, she'd likely be a good addition to the team.
> Janet van Dyne
(From various Marvel comics.) That depends on when in the continuity.
> Evangeline Athanasia Katherine McDowell
(From "Negima!") Eva's response to the offer would likely be "Thanks,
but I'm not interested."
And if the KS attacked Chachamaru, well... I wouldn't want to be a
Saber in that eventuality.
> Buffy Summers
(From "Buffy the Vampire Slayer".) Her response would likely be the
same as Eva's, but for a different reason. Then Buffy would go after
Eva... ^_^
> Tendo Akane
(From "Ranma 1/2".) Voice bubble: "It is a martial artist's duty to
protect the weak! You don't even have to ask." Thought bubble: 'And
wearing the hardsuit will make me stronger than Ranma!'
Once she's in, though, there's trouble - Akane doesn't pay as much
attention to her surroundings as she should, and she's used to a world
where people don't die just because they've been hit by a falling
building. Akane's first outing would likely leave her seriously
injured or dead. And then Ranma does to the KS _and_ Genom what he did
to Saffron in the final volume of the manga.
> Honor Stephanie Harrington
(From the "Honor Harrington" novels.) Not enough information.
> Daisuke Gally
(From "Gunnm"/"Battle Angel".) She's almost completely an android, and
doesn't hide that fact - how will Priss react?
If Priss lets Gally join, though, she'd be a top-notch combatant. A
hardsuit for her would be icing on the cake.
> Kathrine 'Kitty' Pryde
(From various Marvel comics.) It's yet another team, and Kitty's
definitely a team player; she'd fit in well. She'd also likely refuse
a hardsuit, since she can (or, in earlier days, had to) disrupt
electronics when she walked through them...
She's possibly the best KS recruit on your list.
> Kusanagi Motoko
(From "Ghost in the Shell".) Same problem as Gally, plus Motoko would
likely take over the team if she was recruited. Is Sylia looking to
retire?
> Anita Blake
Who?
> Seras Victoria
(From "Hellsing".) The fact that she's even more of a "night owl" than
Priss would make it dificult for Selas to take part in training
exercises or daytime missions. And her diet would make her extremely
nervous during OAV 5, with the "vampire murderer" running around...
I can't see Sylia accepting Selas as a Saber once Sylia learns that
Selas can't operate in the daytime. She might become a "deniable
asset", though.
> Gwendolyn Ingolfsson
(From the Draka novels.) I could see her taking over the KS, as a
stepping-stone on her path toward taking over Genom, and then the
world. She might even let Sylia think recruiting Gwendolyn was Sylia's
idea...
