C-z seems like the obvious choice out of these -- it's a duplicate
binding, there was a lot of support for repurposing it in that recent
thread, and those who were a bit reticent about repurposing were okay
with the idea of C-z C-z suspending the frame with something in the
message area after a single C-z.

Thanks for the proposal.
