If a defendant's insurance carrier is in rehabilitation after a summons and complaint was filed and served, can the claimant bring a default judgment against said carrier in New York or alternatively, should claimant bring a default judgment against Liquidation Bureau?

If you read the order of liquidation the answer will probably be neither.

The Liquidation Bureau gets special protection, especially as against defaults. Read the Order issuing the probable stay. Sometimes the order is extended to cover just matters in default, as it was with Reliance.
Good Luck
