Provided the SI doesn't know anything about the world they're getting dumped into, doesn't have a premade character sheet on hand and has a strict character creation time limit, I'd be tempted to go with the Aberrant system. Fast and easy creation process with enough potential power to let you handle anything short of a truly extreme death world. Eufiber 5, Mega-Stamina 5, Mega-Strength 1, Teleport 1 gives you basic defense, offense and escape with a few points left over. As an added bonus, you can evolve new powers in response to whatever you run into.
Watching these I've been getting tempted to try one too. Only I've been getting tempted to try doing one in which the system and setting are mismatched. Like say Buffy & Golden Sky Stories, or Worm and Toon (well, at least a Toon character would have a survival advantage in the Worm universe). As the title says, it seems to me this is either madness or mad genius.
The only negatives are the potential for accumulating high levels of mutative Taint (which is quite easy to avoid) and the possibility that you wind up becoming the boogeyman that everyone else unites against.
