Can't we simply keep the Crucible around and fire off Destroy in the case of any synthetic uprising? It's not like it exploded or anything. Even if it did, we have the plans and it only takes a month to build.

Anyway, the reason I don't choose Control, besides it being too much power to give to one person, is that it can potentially backfire horribly. In isolation, a human mind can collapse, or a synthetic mind can come to the same conclusions as the one before it. Lets look at the risk versus reward here: best case is the Reapers help rebuilding go faster and the geth don't die. Worst case: the cycle starts over and EVERYONE dies. Destroy is the only safe and responsible options. The geth can take a hit for the team, they knew the risks when they signed up. Oh, and the developers confirmed that Shepard doesn't die in Destroy, that presumambly applies to the rest of the galaxy with major implants as well. This is supported by the fact that Harbinger says Tali has "major cybernetic augmentation", and she's clearly seen alive, along with the rest of the quarian race.
