For this thread to have any narrative drive, I don't think we should be able to pick exactly what we'd want to be. Like, being in the Star Wars universe as a Jedi? Awesome. As a "randomly selected citizen," even if it has to be one that was in the films, not as cool. Constant regime changes, weapons that can blow up planets and stars, esoteric monk warriors that can kill you with their thoughts.
Ferris Bueller - we'd all like to imagine ourselves as Ferris, but I'm pretty sure he's one dude in an entire movie of less interesting and less awesome people. Probability practically ensures you wouldn't be Ferris if all you could choose was the universe, not the specifics of your role in it.
Suddenly decisions become a lot harder if we do that. Groundhog Day (good thought, btw), but you'd be stuck in a loop, blissfully unaware. Most sci-fi universes, freaking terrifying and likely ending in a swift death just before the hero swoops in to kill the alien robot dictators with his charm and sex appeal. It becomes an exercise in caution and critical thinking, rather than simple wish fulfillment.
Or maybe we'd rather do wish fulfillment. srug

For me, if it's wish fulfillment, I'm hedging between superhero universes to choose the best one. Spider-Man is where my heart would want to take me, but realistically I'd probably end up as a Green Lantern.
If it's my scenario, I'm picking something harmless and PG like Snow Day, Peter Pan, or the Sandlot. Lots of fun activities, and only the bad guys get punished. Assuming I at least keep my personality, I'm in the clear. Or a porno, though for some reason actually being a porn actor doesn't have a ton of appeal to me. Sex?

Sex as an emotionless job? Not so much. Maybe a better choice would be an ensemble rom-com where literally everyone falls in love. Love Actually, for a relevant example.
