The Laughing God is closer in method to Tzeentch.

I suppose the "good" version of Nurgle would be a god represeting the circle of life, it's pretty much what he is now.

Nothing lasts. Nurgle is stated as beign the god of decay and pestilence but he is also a god of rebirth and life. in the GrimDark version hsi followers die but he brigns them back to life as plague carriers or "zombies".

I suppose a Good Nurgle woudl be all about re-incarnation.

Well i get it that nurgle does create life but really his goal is to decompose the universe aka everything so eventually those microorganism that serve him.
I suppose the "best" good warp gods would be the Eldar, except there dead, which might explain why things are so grimdark. But one thing I want to know if gods are created by emotion and belief, why can't they be recreated?

They were slightly different in that they were likely created by the Old Ones to combat the C'tan. There is proof in this due to the fact that Khaine battled and defeated the Nightbringer, who is a material creature. If they weren't created by the Old Ones they were probably Gods created specifically by the Eldar mirroring the Eldars various ideals made into God like entities due to the Eldars very strong connection with the Warp. Of the pantheon only 3 survived in various forms. Cegorach, the Harlequin God escaped Slannesh when he fled to the halfway realm of the Webway, implying that they had some material form as he is able to remain 'alive' in a material realm. Kaela Mensha Khaine battled and nearly defeated Slannesh. Khorne then battled Slannesh for the defeated Khaine. Khorne was victorious, whoever Khaine was driven from the Warp in the battle, breaking up during transition and ending up in the heart of each craftworld as the Avatar of Khaine. Isha also survived, being taken by Nurgle and placed in his 'garden'. She whispers cures to Nurgles various concoctions to the mortal races.
There is a fourth God that is partially formed, , Ynnead Eldar God of Death is said to be formed from the souls of Eldar within the Infinity Circuit and will come to be once all Eldar are dead. It is said that Ynnead will be able to finally destroy Slannesh and save the souls of all the Eldar.

*LIGHTBULB TING*
What if all the Eldar Gods (the Common 4 ( Ynnead might be Malal )) were just the yin yang of the Chaos Gods
Khorne is Bloodshed and hatred, Khaine is honour and Death
Both resemble warriors
Nurgle is disease and decay, Isha Medicine and cures
Both the yin yang of Bio stuff
Tzeench is manipulation and trickery, Cegorash is change and laughter
Slaanesh is the God of Excess, (I need an Eldar God of love?)

Otherwise, here are good+bads of all Gods

Pros: Cons:
Slaanesh=love, devotion Excess, lust
Tzeench=change, hope manipulation, sceming
Khorne=honour, prowess bloodshed, hate
Nurgle=family, good spirits disease, rot
