It should be restored to active Project APE cache status in its original location.
I went to Brazil and found the last remaining Project APE cache 3 years ago. I never got the chance to find any of the others and I think it's sad that they were archived. I would have traveled anywhere to find them. Finding the one on Brazil was one of the best geocaching adventures I've ever had.
Seeing the box on display at HQ or at an event would not interest me at all. Letting people log it as a find in other places than the original location would make it a lot less special and sort of ruin the point. Finding a special cache type like this should require more effort than visiting HQ or an event.
I don't even mind if Mission 9 gets activated with a new container. The important thing is that the original listing becomes active again. I would have loved to see some of the others come back from the dead as well - original containers or not. The 90 days to unarchive rule is so new that it shouldn't be relevant.
These caches are old - a part of geocaching history - and should be kept active at all costs. If Groundspeak asked me what the #1 thing they could do to make me more excited about geocaching, this would be it.
Let's hope Mission 9 will be unarchived. I will come to the US to find it as soon as I can!
