Post-SGW is more canon accurate but it's not actual game canon. Sally and the Freedom Fighters as well as the original charaters in the comic are not canon to the games.

The comics now have 25 years of games to catch up on, which they are trying to sum up in Genesis of a Hero. And the post-SGW starts off with Countdown to Chaos to reintroduce the characters and Shattered World Crisis being the first Sonic game the comics began with.

The reason why I would of chosen "Shattered Time Crisis" is because it fits in with the fact the Super Genesis Wave caused some fractures across the new timeline. Sonic reassembling his timeline would be an ideal way to introduce the new timeline without resorting to flashbacks or retconned stories to cover everything. Instead of stages, Sonic could simply team up with Classic Sonic to visit moments in his history such as Eggman Invasion and Genesis of a Hero, followed by his Dreamcast and Modern games.
