In fact, I see your two proposals:

1. Add a prefix arg to `C-x C-e' to control the variables
  `eval-expression-print-level' and `eval-expression-print-length'.
  This was the first question in your message that started this thread:
  "How about letting the particular prefix arg control whether to print
   the full value?"

2. And your second question was "How about letting a non-negative prefix arg
   insert the full value?".  Your second proposal changes the default behavior
   of `C-x C-e' to insert the full value by default.

I agreed that the first is an improvement, but have doubts about the second.
