Personally Id like to see them face all of them at one point or another.

Iron Grenadiers all the way. They are vastly underrated as a force.

I went with SKAR, but I'd like to see all of them (though I'm not familiar with Men of Evil or First Strike).

Men of Evil are a 12" enemy the club used for the con set this year, and First Strike was Wingfields group originally from the Marvel run, that DDP used.

Iron Grenadiers all the way!

So much potential...

Where is Sergeant Major?
Will we see Piper as trainer?
Return of Metal-Head?
General mayhem as Voltar's replacement?
IG vehicles, including Darklon's vehicle?
The other troops, other than the Iron Grenadiers?
Baroness as a member or ranking member?
Destro with his gold mask again?
More history about the first Destro?

I Love Destro and the Iron Grenadiers!

I voted SKAR

Because IDW has done such an awesome job of taking crap characters & factions and making them great (Cobra-La, Croc Master, etc). I think SKAR should be next. They don't need any connection just a revamp

I would prefer to see the GI Joe Team take on different ideological and terrorist opponents. Cobra's just so cliched! In the real world no single terrorist group could be such a threat to world peace, especially one founded by a deadbeat 2 bit used car salesman. As they said in True Lies: "The guy's a damned used car salesman!"
Cobra Commander was never even hinted to have any form of solid education that's relevant to his shenanigans. James Bond's arch enemy Ernst Stavro Blofeld of SPECTRE (Which is cooler and more realistic than Cobra Command ever will be!) was given a background where he held degrees in Political Science, Economics and Radio Electronics., making him believable.
Also, GI Joe is supposed to be an Anti Terrorist Team. so let's see them face OTHER Terrorist cells; opponents with NO ties to either the Joes or Cobra or Destro! A Fresh enemy!
As for ideological threats, there's Iran, North Korea and Red China! Give the Joes a Variety of foes! Cobra's overused and overrated.

I'd like to see the Black Dragon gang, especially since they are based on a real Asian group that was powerful back in the day. Also, they seemed to have been a recurring enemy for the Adventure Team, according to many of the narratives on the back of the toys.
