I dont think she needs to be phoenix. That would only put her more on Jean's shadow. developments outside of the x-men are usually and quickly ignored on the x-books. If rachel is going to get something significant it should be on the x-men.
Let her be Phoenix. Excalibur pretty heavily distinguished her from Jean in terms of development and her relationship to the cosmic fire bird. So unless we’re getting a relaunch of Excalibur with a crazy good lineup on the creative team and team members, she should take some time off of the X-Office. Because if anything’s gonna put her back in Jean’s shadow, it’s being the less powerful copy fighter on a sister team to whatever squad Jean will be leading post-AoXM.
let her be GOD

Strongly disagree.
Marvel should just give her to the Cosmic side and only make guest appearances in the X-Titles.
History has shown us that Rachel will never do anything or be anything substantial in the X-Titles. There are just to many Telepaths, to many Telekinetic, and to many Red heads. Even if that wasn't the case there will always be Jean. Rachel will never have a chance to be anything significant in the X-Men, unfortunately.

As if staying in X-men will help her get out of it. Some of her most significant role has been outside the X-men like in Excalibur and in the Rise and fall of Shiar and stories which came after that. As long as she is X-men she will be in Jeans's shadow unless they change her powerset completely(like making her a magician or just replacing her powers with super strength ) or something just as drastic.

Anything is better than how she is right now, so why not.
I always like seeing X-Men as part of other teams. I really thought the idea of Uncanny Avengers was great and for the most part I enjoyed Remender's run. I'd like to see more X-people branch out.
I wouldn't mind seeing her go cosmic.But, I wouldn't send her Nova. Instead I would send her to the GoTG, along with Kitty. They could both use a change of scenery. That's just my opinion.
And, they could also finally be togather as a couple while out in space.
She should be the new Nova
They already tried keeping her out in the cosmic side years ago. I liked that time, because Rachel had the blue Phoenix echo while she was out in space with Alex, Lorna, and the Starjammers. It was like one of the few times in the past couple decades where she actually acted like the powerhouse she was in her Excalibur days. I was annoyed that they so quickly took it away from her.
I wish the Phoenix Force was more of a dial and less of a toggle.
It’d be interesting to see what Rachel could learn about it if she accessed it on a low simmer rather than the high heat boil we’re used to with P5, White Hot Room, or even the silly displays the Cuckoos and QQ managed.
