Wasn't sure whether or not to make another thread for talking about third kits we'd want since it's a topic that's already been discussed multiple times by now but with every weapon in the game now finally having a second kit, the chance that this could be the last season (not confirmed yet though), and some new users joining the site I think it's still a good idea.
The new kits from this season have also brought some of the fun back for me in theory crafting sub/special combinations. I'll also try not to clutter up this post with my explanations on the kits, but they'll still be there as an option if anyone wants to read.
I'll post some more later in the thread but this is what I have right now.

Torp is a sub that's barely on any weapons, but they work so well with sloshers so I really want to see it on Machine.
Splat Bomb would be cool too but the chip damage, location, and even possible combo potential will make it feel so much better to use.
Just being able to throw Torp over a ledge and follow up with a slosh gives it so much more aggressive potential than both vMachine and Machine Neo. I really wanted a more aggressive kit and while Trizooka can definitely be used aggressively, it's still on a Machine kit without a bomb. Not that I don't like Point Sensor but after the fire rate nerf, the weapon just feels so much slower and harder to play.
Crab is also just an amazing special, and it's also not on any sloshers. So a very similar situation with Torp, where I want to try a certain sub or special but it's not on any of the weapons I play.
I also have a preference for specials that take away your main and force you to be good at using them, Inkjet and Kraken being obvious examples. So far, both Machine kits have a special that take away their main and I want to keep that pattern. I enjoyed the process of getting better with Booyah and not just throwing it at Tower, and the process of getting better with Zooka back when I had no idea what I was doing with it and it wasn't meta yet so I would enjoy another Machine kit that lets me learn how to properly position and use Crab.
It'll also be very funny if Machine was paired up with the same top tier special it was fighting against back when it was also at the top of the meta.
Just to clarify though, I've had this idea before people started asking for Torp/Crab on Dread so I didn't take that and give it to Machine lol.

I know it's another Torp slosher but there's barely Torp weapons in the game and I really just want to see the sub on a lot more weapons. A lot of the reasons why I'd want it on Slosher are the same as Machine but there's another big reason, the vanilla kit with Splat Bomb is stuck with Strikes.
I've talked about it before but the devs have always given Splat Bomb to Soda Slosher, which has also been the aggressive kit for the weapon in both of the previous games. Obviously they can't do that for Splatoon 3 though, so there's not as many options for a sub that can help Slosher play to that aggressive playstyle.
Suction wouldn't be anywhere near as good as Splat Bomb, same goes for Autobomb.
While Fizzy is amazing, it's already on two other sloshers and I honestly think it would encourage a more passive, special focused playstyle where you spam Fizzy to get as many Zookas as possible which isn't my goal here.
This isn't me saying that vBucket isn't aggressive though, but it's held back because of Strikes. I really wish they just copied the Soda Slosher kit from Splatoon 1 so it could have Splat Bomb/Trizooka.
Trizooka would fit Slosher so well, probably even better than Machine. While it wouldn't be in the same positions as Machine since it fights ahead a lot more, that wouldn't be too big of a deal. You could go in, kill one enemy player, pop Zooka to shoot at the other enemy player who noticed you, and continue your push with a full ink tank. That sounds a lot more fun than how vBucket plays right now.
