and basically, Lloyd took notice of Suzaku because he had a very high sync rate (or something like that) in training. because the Lancelot is an experimental machine, it's both dangerous and outside of the standard military, so even though there were other skilled pilots, the units they were a part of wouldn't give them up, or they refused because of the danger.
while it is somewhat troublesome that Noodle is a number, Suzaku ends up being really a good pilot for Lloyd, since there's no strings attached.

Might be another explanation (Not sure):
the sync rate was known after suzaku rode the knightmare, not before. His experience with knightmare testing is also a factor.
The main factor would be because he is an Eleven, and nobody would care him dying. Lloyd stated out that the machine didn't have the ejection implemented, if he said this to a Britannian soldier, he would have to take responsibility if anything happens to a pilot. Turns out suzaku to be a really good pilot.
