Reality and Battletech go hand in hand like a drug induced hallucination and engineering a fusion reactor ;-)
Top...too bad Steiner is German, not Swedish..otherwise, thise would be so appropriate for them:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wnex2xQz6C4
Eherm, "Gott mit uns" ("God is with us" edit: hm, actually it translates rather as "God SHALL be with us") was the GERMAN Battle cry of GERMAN mercenaries fighting for the swedish king Gustavus Adolfus (those rotten traitors!) during the 30 year's war, so in a way at least in some way it's still fitting (at least language-wise). :P
But let's get back to topic. Don't want to get another warning for rules violation of rule #4. ;)
->If you had the option to revive up to three production lines lost in the Jihad (i.e. not included in Objectives LA), which would those be?
Jup, Dragon Fire and Falconer seem like good choices to me as well. But really? No Hauptmann? IMO one of the three most signature and best Mechs we produce(d).I would trade all the remaining Sunder, Black Hawk-Ku and Avatar lines in for the Hauptmann line. ;)
We should invest in making all the IS omnis... even the Perseus. Seriously, most of the IS omnis are pretty good and it just makes sense to do it.

Did we some how loose the line to produce the flashman?
It was likely repurposed by the Blakists during their occupation of Hesperus II.
The Men Shen and Perseus fall into the "Good 'mech, bad configurations" problem. The Strider should not be touched.I like the Owens, but think it would be far better with DHS...which, hey the Steiners could easily upgrade it. Actually..the Steiners should take the first generation Omnis and upgrade the tech...
I really like the fire starter omni also. I think we could really do something nice with the men-shen and the blackjack omni's.
As I said: Good 'Mechs, bad configurations. Seriosly, the Menshen Prime: change the Medium Pulse out for ER Mediums, give it a second ton of LRM Ammo, Active Probe, ECM, and TAG....

They were using our lines. They had their own version of the flashman... they could have been making them there. Then again, that line could have been damaged or something. Most unfortunate... i think i'll keep them being produced there... in my universe.
