Restart as in reboot? As in the Shepard Trilogy never happened?
That would be the absolute worse choice they could make, in my opinion.
I don't see it happening, but if they were to have the same characters return and add more to each mission or make some changes here and there, I wouldn't mind. But as I say, I don't see them doing a reboot

It would be more honest I guess.
What you get with a galaxy switch is basically a veiled reboot.
Did they confirm familiar faces? Hmm...now I wonder which ones.
Its possible to see Barla Von, Jordan Noles, Bailey, maybe Liara's father. Aria, though I don't see her on the ark since she wouldn't want to give up Omega especially if the dlc was completed. Rebekah and Michael Pretrovosky who the player can talk with in ME1 and again in ME3. Maybe the Matsuo character on Noveria. I would include the council, but which ones? The ME1 council could be dead and the salarian councilor can be dead.
I'm only assuming the above folks if the ark thing leaves before Shepard chooses whatever ending.

Restart is not a Reboot
A reboot is using the same characters all over again i.e. Shepard and original squadmates but the plots has been altered significantly.
A restart is a clean game no connection to past games whatsoever.
In my opinion the worst thing they can do is continue the Shepard trilogy in an Ark without even mentioning to what happened to the Milkyway after the reaper war because there is no proper closure which then gives me the impression that they would just hand wave everything. A clean slate is way better IMHO

It's pretty much a hand-wave which ever way you look at it.
Whether you disregard, alter or escape prior events, you've effectively written them off.

I'd hope to see Shiala and Gianna Parasini again, since they didn't reappear in ME3. Both can die however, so that might rule them out.

There are a couple folks I like to see again, but if that character can die, I would rather just see a new character instead. The one's I mentioned, and I'm sure a few others I missed that can't die, could be seen again if the ark were to leave the galaxy before Shepard chooses whatever ending.
Its possible Khalisha al-Jalini might be seen again. I wonder if the next game would have a reporter on the ark?
How can you have familiar faces returning and NOT mention the outcome of the Reaper War and what decision Shep took?
At the very least they'd have green eyes.. or just maybe mention the 2km reapers flying around.. or the new machine God that oversee the galaxy..

Guess it depends on who Noah let on the boat before they left.

I don't think a Restart qualifies for hand waiving since they did mention Shepard's journey ends with 3. So I would say a new game or fresh game is proper the ark on the other hand... now that's a hand wave

If its an Ark Theory setting presumably the ship leaves before the Reaper War ends. By the time it arrives in Andromeda hundreds of years have passed. Being outside the Milky Way when the Crucible fires, the crew is unaffected by whatever Shepard chose.

Bray could be a familiar face as a Batarian companion 
I could get behind this new galaxy stuff but I hope BW won't even think about "deleting" the Milky Way. I understand they want to get a fresh start after the trilogy and the different endings which would be pretty tricky to implement them and it is ok with me, but sooner or later we have to face the music. We should must learn and see what is happening back home, the choices we have made and their impact. I bet BW devs are regretting the endings more than any disappointed fan.
In any case I believe that the next ME game will be great and I hope we will revisit our galaxy in a future ME game.

So any familiar faces would have to be really minor characters whose fate is not only ambiguous and not in the story past a certain point but also the character is minor enough that people would probably have to wiki them?
Well that's just brilliant.
Assuming this is actually true...
Why would they need to leave the Milky Way? Less than 1% of the galaxy had been explored by the time of ME3. It's not like they were running out of living space or resources.
Also, how are they leaving the Milky Way? The Reapers, to our knowledge, only ever operated in the Milky Way (since they're off hibernating in dark space when they aren't harvesting us), and they're the ones who made the relays, so I doubt they constructed relays outside the Milky Way. FTL in ME isn't nearly advanced enough to allow ships to leave the galaxy in any meaningful span of time unless they found a relay that sits on the very edge of one of the galactic arms.
Also, "Khet"? "Remnants"? Really? Not even going to try to be subtle with those names and how similar they are to "geth" and "Reapers"? I guess the Remnants also created the massive relays, and the central hub of all the massive relays is the Bastion, the seat of galactic government. And the player, as Captain Shepherd, must defeat the Khet and their leader Jaren, who is under the control of the Remnants and searching for the Plug-in on Eyelos.
On the one hand, these rumors sound really stupid and probably aren't true. On the other hand, the rumors and leaks for ME3 were really stupid and turned out to be entirely true.
Though the Remnants seem to me more the Protheans counterpart then the Reapers'.
I reckon we will end up finding the last surviving member of their species frozen in a cry chamber, and his name will be Jarvis. And instead of being a vaguely insectoid-looking creature with frog eyes, he'll be a vaguely frog-like creature with insect eyes.

I'm not really clear on what a restart entails exactly.
I think the names may be just placeholders so the real names aren't known. Surveys have done that before.

Assuming this is true, it's because the ME3 affected the entire Milky Way. For us to explore the rest of the Galaxy they would have to make the game before ME3 or canonize one of the endings
