A better question would be if we should have gone for Virginia Tech instead of Missouri (or possibly UVa).

I believe UNC would have been, and still would be, the SEC's first choice but at the time, UNC wasn't open to breaking up Tobacco Road and losing the power they hold within the ACC. They are Texas-light in that regard.
Now though things have changed and from what I've read, they are open to exploring other conferences.
Virginia Tech would have been a great add though, I agree. They've lost some luster over the last decade though and seem to be glossed over in recent conference realignment talks.

Was Missouri really our best option at the time, or would Memphis have been a better choice?
So you would rather have "Tiger High" than "Tiger U" in the SEC?

Which Arkansas alter is this?
Memphis is such a coveted conference expansion piece that it is still stuck in the AAC, and has been passed over by the Big 12 in favor of juggernauts like Cincinnati, Houston, and UCF.
