Stargate runs into the same problem as star trek. Namely the ancients will act due to them perceiving the emperor and ynnead being just like the Ori. And honestly they would win simply do to there being more of them.

I'm not interested in Muv-Luv; might be from that other Quest having left a very sour taste in my mouth, but the thought of having to treat them as anything but pests to completely destroy is not appealing.

The Ancients... Are you serious ? Those non interference jackasses are going to work against us ?
Yeah, fighting only BETA could become repetitive after a while. That's the drawback of it being straightforward in regards to threats.
I doubt that they have stripmined everything though, when I said a galaxy full of them I wasn't literal.
Eh, the Ancients didn't do much against the Ori, why would they act fast or at all against the Emperor and Ynnead? They are big on nonintervention afterall.
They would. Quite simply because they would view us as interfering ascended that they can actually take on unlike the ori who out number them.

They didn't do much agianst the Ori for two reason. The Ori are stronger then them and out number them.

To me that's a feature not a bug, but that's a matter of taste and other settings are interesting as well.
What makes you think we are weaker than them? Well the Emperor alone as he is now probably is, but Ynnead is there as well. They also would try to talk to us first, I think.

They can do a lot more then that. They just don't because they don't need to.

Are all things I'd vote for. We don't have to go into the universes when they're at their strongest after all. Torr would balance it I hope.

As long as we're throwing out potentially interesting universes, how about Sins of a Solar Empire or Sword of the Stars?

The only one I would be willing to go in is cthulhutech all the others are overpowered or boring.
That sounds more like Hyperbole.
Some concrete things actually demonstrated that is not Ancient propaganda?
All I saw from the Ori was Telekinetics that an not even High-G worlder human could jerk around in, Better than Eldar Visions/Divination (Not on the fly though), Mind-Control, and that shield that they Naq-Nuked, and... Teleportation?

Andromeda has an advantage, in that we could also end up meeting supernatural beings (I know that there are beings that basically represent black holes), which means Ynnead could get jealous and that'd be hilarious.
Then we've also got some impressive ship speeds, which I think could be interesting to take for our own.
The ancients were preventing the ori from interfering to much. And even then then they still made a super plague. And then there's how they made the super gate.
I certainly am going to be choosing universes that I actually know about and can read up on. The problem is that some of those settings I don't give a lot of fucks about. Some are also REALLY strong against us right now (Fucking EVE Online, really?) and while I'd not like to go for universe in which we can curbstomp, I rather not deal with some one that requires us to tiptoe around for the first few turns after we get setup.
Though it isn't like we don't have resources in which we can run a successful shadow war.

Ascended Ancients are quite good at getting what they want. Look at it this way, Ori are problem so they subtly pointed SGC into luring them, then they continue to nudge Tau'ri until they finally complete god killing weapon and unleash it on Ori while Ancient themselves are safe.
Same with Pegasus, poke here, nudge there and humans start cleaning mess left by Lannteans, oh for drama sake lets put this allegedly "exiled" ancient to protect this planet SG team are likely to visit so they may see how important it is to take care of Wraiths.
In short, if you squint all of SG can be seen as plan on Ascended Ancients to get people of earth to take care of their problems.
