On top of "Living Legend", I would also look at "War of the Gods", and "Lost Planet of the Gods". Both "War of the Gods", and the second part of "Lost Planet of the Gods" were the key episodes which helped establish the "mythos" of the original series.

In "War of the Gods", the human/Cylon conflict was redefined within the context of a battle between the greater powers, those of Iblis and the Ship of Lights (and ultimately good and evil itself). This is a type of story which I felt was told more effectively within Babylon 5's "Shadow War" arch. "Lost Planet of the Gods" firmly established the Von Daniken 13th tribe elements of Galactica. Until that episode, we only had Adama's speech in the pilot to guide us.

I honestly don't know if either would be a good "fit" for the miniseries universe, but those were key episodes in the original series.
