Well not give him that stupid suit he is going to wear for one thing.
Don't know of his journey but I hope him and Kaine die, cant have 3spiderman, miles, silk, spider verse spider stories, spider Gwen and don't know else, but it's so boring!!!!
While I trust that the creative team will do right by Ben despite the difficult place that they are starting, if I was going to write a series about Ben I would have had him take over Parker industries and be the billionaire globe trotting version of Spider-man, while Peter could have stayed and been focusing on new york. For me the Peter as a billionaire has not worked but it would have been interesting for Ben and could have differentiated him from other Spider-people. Using Ben to have Spider-man adventures in hong kong, beijing, london etc would have been an interesting thing and they could have subtlety had Ben build his own supporting cast. Hopefully since Ben is on the run in this story we may get to see him explore some of the interesting places in the marvel universe like Madripor and weirdworld. I do hope that the utilize some of the underused spider-man villains for ben, would be nice to see morbius pop up in this title.

The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably.. The first time any man's freedom is trodden on, we're all damaged"- CAPT. Picard
I've worked and reworked stories that bring back Ben for so many years. But in summation, my favorite way of bringing back Ben involved actually bringing back Spidercide.
If I could do a series, though? I'd be happy with a solo, or a shared title with Kaine, but you know my top choice is a Scarlet-led Slingers title!
And honestly? I'd be exploring the philosophical implications of Peter Parker's morals, which I bet we'll get in spades from PAD soon.

You were Spider-Man then. You and Peter had agreed on it. But he came back right when you started feeling comfortable.
You know what it means when he comes back.

Scarlet Spider leading the Slingers would be an awesome idea, especially if the team was made up of costumed and/or super-powered allies that debuted within the Spider-Man comics. Or are you thinking about recreating the original Slingers lineup but with Scarlet Spider assembling and leading them? If that's what you had in mind, that would be pretty awesome, too. And considering Scarlet bonded with the Carnage symbiote . . . that would have made more sense for his behavior in The Clone Conspiracy, you could just say that the symbiote's murderous impulses warped his brain despite his best efforts to resist, further compounding the trauma of Warren killing and resurrecting him 27 times over. Also, I'd have preferred a Scarlet Spiders title with Ben and Kaine as co-leads reconciling their relationship with each other and their place in the world instead of being in opposition to each other because of The Clone Conspiracy. Speaking of Scarlet Spiders, I'm hoping Peter David at some point tackles the Scarlet Spider clones that were created by Mister Sinister in the Wolverines weekly series back in 2015 pre-Secret Wars.
The spider is always on the hunt.
Ben was originally intended to take Spider-Man back to basics while giving Peter and MJ a relatively happy marriage.
So why not invert that and have Ben marry MJ and live out the life Peter never got (post-OMD)?

I would not like that. That just sounds messed up. Interesting idea, I will concede, but not something I want to ever see played out. (I do come from the camp that once you take Peter Parker out of Spider-Man, I'm done -- USM's Miles comics notwithstanding. So, I don't want to see Ben living Peter's life, I want to see Peter living Peter's life.)
well given current developments its more likely he is going to end up with felica or the daughter of the burglar who shot Ben parker his one time love interest and they could compare notes on how peter directly or indirectly wrecked their lives.
I suppose you could give Ben the Venom symbiote. Give him a turn.
