Oh, well, I'd say the safe bet is Caboose. Mind you, I don't know the character all too well and I don't know you all to well, I mean, it depends how you are at writing comedy.
Though, a little insight on the other two, I have to warn you about playing characters with too much of a legacy. Part of what makes a character last is to find that sweet spot where you feel like you own them. This isn't the Indiana Jones of the movies, this is your Indiana Jones OC. You'd have to be able to write as that character and not be afraid you might be breaking film canon because it's your canon now.
From what I've seen, that's much harder to accomplish when they have a higher mainstream conciousness. It's why we don't have a Batman, it's just intimidating to play a character with that much weight to it, ya know?
This is not to discourage you, just something to consider. Maybe Indiana Jones or Ash is perfect for you, I was just making sure you were aware of a common trapping that hit writers on this site. Whoever you pick, I'd love to see you make it work in your own way <3
