SOF, and SF in particular, already seem to function like a fifth branch, so why not just formalize it? That would seem to offer an attractive promotion path and ensure that officers with at least "white side" experience were filling the top jobs. It would also put SOF people in charge of their own recruiting, instead of making the various elements dependent on conventional recruiters sourcing the right talent. Perhaps planning, budgeting and procurement, too, but I don't know much about how those work at present, so the issue could be moot.
