WCDT Strips 3536 to 3540 (31st July to 4th August 2017)
ProvenNonsense:
I think it is very difficult creative decision for Jeph to decide Winslow's new chassis, and could even see Winslow deciding to stay in his current one, though it would be a mistake for him to continue in his(both Jeph and Winslow) status quo. I'm assuming the final choice will be none of the above, because that is just good webcomic writing, but personality wise he would connect more to a soft boy type. I'm sure we won't dig into this, but philosophically, if you had the choice and unlimited means, what would you choose for your body? And how would that new body affect your personality? If you are a more shy shut-in type (as is Winslow) would a more athletic conventionally attractive body change you personality? I think it would, at least a little.
I'm also curious of the possibility of non-binary chassis, because what we have seen (in the store) is explicitly male, and I could see an AI having even less need for that than humans have.
Okay, back to lurking.

It could be even longer than that. Jeph has previously set up something like this and then gone away for a few strips to catch up with other characters before resolving the set-up.
It is quite possible that we won't find out what Winslow's new body looks like until panel three on Friday with Faye saying: "Hey, Hanners! Who's the cutie?"
Is it cold in here?:

Welcome, new person with the fascinating question! That would be a great discussion to start in RELATE as well as here.
I think I'd go for practicality -- strong constitution, fine motor control, that kind of thing. For cost-no-object upgrades I'd be tempted to try out some new senses.
Winslow feels a need to be useful. There was a strip about that. What kind of job would he try for?

We have seen non-binary chassis—Spookybot's.

Take a look at the very first body we see, with lavender skin and blue hair. No breasts, no curves, no abs, no broad sholders, no bulge, and a hairdoo very similar to Hannelore's.
