Savage Worlds: Aliens, World of the Dead, or Destiny

Here are a couple game concepts I wouldn't mind trying out through Savage Worlds, since I still don't have much experience with the game.

Aliens
I really like this setting and would like to explore both the survival aspects of it and the mythology. Let us explore Pilot ruins and deal with perhaps a global or intergalactic break out of the xenomorphs. Lots of variants born of different species, mysteries locked behind the enigmatic Pilot technology, and tense crawls through ships, space stations, infested colonies. What starts as perhaps an isolated incident soon blossoms into a fight for galactic survival.

Destiny
We are Guardians, the last line of defense for the last city on Earth. Adventuring through the solar system, facing down hostile aliens, uncovering relics of the past, establishing outposts, all of that sounds pretty cool to me. A nice mix of action, intrigue, and exploration. Seems like SW would work pretty well for it, though I'm not married to it.

World of the Dead
I'd like to play a great zombie apocalypse game focused on survival, including building up communities, scavenging, the nightly struggles. It's not so much killing zombies as it is the aspects of surviving, exploring a post-apocalyptic cityscape, and so on that interest me.

Not sure I'd have time for another game, but Destiny sounds fun. There is also a Savage Destiny fan setting floating around the internet, so a lot of the setting work is already done for you.

Samus Aran:
World of the Dead
...

Is this a reference to Ultima Forsan Savage World in particular or a generic zombie apocalypse in modern days?

It's an expansion of the War of the Dead campaign with a full-fledged setting book. It's pretty neat, though I like to make a few changes (animal zombies, for instance).

And a bump, in case anyone is interested. Would also be interested in Deadlands: Hell on Earth for SW, I think, or something Fallout-esque.
