Neither. Australia would be better for Build. Island setup and better topic coverage as their kids shows already have a more diverse material and heaviness to them. The Jonathan M. Schiff shows are proof of that which often go to Nick or Teen Nick anyway. And there have been other original Nick shows that have been more topic diverse too. Not the Schneider ones that have been poop. I mean the good ones like that trio alien hunters one and similar.
Plus with Australia, it can come stateside through Teen Nick.
America/Canada seems to do better with original material. The kids drama scifi genre is profitable, and they do have wider topics they can cover. It's more deterred by the conservative mom brigades that complain. Disney and Nickelodeon have been doing really well in wider genres with original material. (Mech X4, Lab Rats, Mighty Med, the other fantasy shows on Nick, etc. And some have done a few rather dark story lines intermixed in.)
The conservative mom brigade is what tried to call "Jessie" racist for having a diverse multi-cultural family that celebrated and learned about their differences to co-exist as a family. And it's also the conservative mom brigade that threw fits about the wider parent diversity shown in Loud House. So thankfully Disney and Nick ignored those complaints. But that's also why Korra's finale was relegated to internet release instead of on tv, because of how it ended with Korra's openly being bi at the end. So that's one of the biggest hurdles in why children's TV is so hindered these days.
There's also a whole issue about wider merchandising too. So finding the right outlet that can get to shelves and sell is a big question. Merchandising makes or breaks shows more than ratings do.
A big figure like they did for Power rangers and other superheroes would be awesome for Ultraman or really even Ben 10's way big.
I do expect a resurgence of toku-like dramas though for kids. And there is a wide array of shows that can do it and new fresh talents that want to do their own versions. So I expect things like Ultraman and Beetleborgs could make a comeback in a new way. Same to VR Troopers, and Gridman.
Another issue is how the shows are filmed. Sentais are filmed in a way for globalizing with scene splicing. Rider series aren't. More would have to be re-filmed. And in other cases, matching film grade would be nice too. So like ultraman, we're more likely to get dubs than re-makes on rider series. They need more work than Sentai remakes do.
The other issue is translations though. Subs have been rather relaxed in accuracy. Using curse words that really aren't part of the translation due to lack of finding an age appropriate word that does fit, and also line emphasis because of word order that's destroying line delivery and dramatic emphasis from word order. So many of those issues would have to be fixed too in translations and dubs as well as fixing that in any series remake.
Though I kind of do want to see Syfy take on Faiz like they did Being Human. KS7 would be a good one too. Same to Shibuya 15, or Mirrorman Reflex. Or Ultraman Nexus.
IFC would be a good place too for an international kids block. But for merchandising purposes, it does need to be one of the more dominant stations. Netflix or one of the normal cable package outlets.
For rider series though, I do think we may see something interesting in a couple years that's jam-packed enough with awesome that Toei easily finds someone that'll help them make it world wide with cameos and all. That'd rock.
And with global hero stuff becoming more dominant and wider lore reaches being made, I wouldn't be surprised if we get an "American Rider" type series at some point on a main network channel like NBC. Especially with how well shows like Flash and Legends are doing. Especially as Toei is looking into new bigger ways to celebrate anniversaries.
