I want her rocking a new chassis for sure, preferrably one with upgrades and a better wardrobe.

As for her memory, it can't be completely intact, that's for sure. Otherwise there is very little cost for her "dying." In the few weeks between Penny's death and Pyrrha's death, I thought that when Penny next saw Pyrrha, she would see her killer as a threat, and proceed to immediately engage with maximum available force, with Ruby being the only one who could stop her, and having Penny learn to tolerate Pyrrha as the latter tried to make it up to Penny and atone.

Since that can't happen, there should probably be considerable memory degradation. Whether she should remember Ruby at all is up for debate, but since it's only logical that she'd be in a new, superior chassis, the only costs of her temporary demise that can reasonably happen are memory loss, lost time, and altered programming (changed priorites, different tactics and moral thresholds). Of those three, the second one is inherent, and I find the first preferable to the third.
