Choosing the dice will never work. It will create boring games with only two tactics. Each player won't be able to stay in Tokyo long enough to attack the other players and they will have to leave straight away to avoid being killed. The other move is to just load up on VP (6 per turn) and the first player to do so will win in 4 turns as long as everyone else ceases attacking and one player stays in Tokyo long enough to attack. All games will follow roughly the same pattern - it changes from a push-you-luck game, to a game of waiting for one player to win based on turn order or one to make a stupid move and let another win. It becomes too deterministic.
I've played around 50 3 to 6 player games where you can pick what dice to use and that isn't what happens. It's actually not very different than a normal game except people can come back after getting attacked easier.
