As for me, anything germanic would be fine. And aren't the Aedui and Averni also very similar, or am I wrong?

P.S.: Wo lebten eigentlich die Vangionen? Und bedeutet "manniskon barnan" so viel wie "das Kind im Manne"? Das würde mich mal interessieren.

manniskon barnan bedeutet Menschenkind:-)
Die Vangionen waren ein ziemlich kleiner und eher unbedeutender Stamm, die in etwa in der heutigen Kurpfalz/Nordbaden lebten - meine Heimat also.

Concerning the Cherusci in comparison to the Aedui and Averni you are correct, but in the case the Belgae are a playbale faction in EB2, i think the area there becomes to crowded.
I still think the Gu(o)tanoz are the best choice, slightly behind the Kimbroz(Cimbri)
