The answer to this will mostly depend on what the other PCs are bringing. If you stat it as an Ally, it will wipe the floor with PCs built as conventional supers (and NPCs built as threats).
If
everyone has mecha-suit Allies, then that doesn't matter. If they don't, then Dreadnaught-style is probably best.
Vehicle seems like a poor third option, as anime powered armor (even at 55ft tall) can do all the jumping, acrobatics, crouching etc that a person can do, and that's just easier to figure as a 55ft person than via vehicular controls in GURPS. I think. I haven't looked at the recent Pyramid with Pulver's tweaks on Spaceships as Mecha, though.
