I think Sus2 would be better than a major triad. If I want a 2, I'd rather a different flavour of 2 than no 2.
Aye. I was more thinking of the alternative to "drop out completely".

I was a little in two minds about triad or sus2, but I think it probably depends mostly on what the melody is playing against the chord. Whether or not the melody has the '2'. That may be a tricky question even if the melody is present in the project. Probably impossible for a backing-only work.
