Oh great, now within the space of a single blog we have TWO anti-destroy opinions that heavily rely on the use of strawmen and arguing ad hominem. Granted, justifying the geth genocide by saying "Oh, they wouldn't mind taking one for the team anyway" rattles me too, but those logical fallacies AREN'T the way to respond and weaken your own argument.

Personally, I choose Control, since it has the least amount of issues associated with it. Around here, it seems like the main concern people have in regards to Control is the effect of the sudden power on Shepard and them going "evil" from it, but given how much work most people's Shepards have done for the galaxy over the course of the trilogy, doing things ranging from evacuating refugees and obtaining additional research and supplies to engineering quarian-geth peace and deciding on the fate of the rachni, I would say s/he is the best possible canditate for such power and is safe from going down the Catalyst's route. If they can't manage the full power, they don't have to use all of it: nothing prevents the Shepbringer from putting all other Reapers on standby and go off to help vorcha, for example. Given that all Reapers can talk to other races, I wouldn't be too worried about you being isolated; I would imagine that there would be no shortage of people wanting to converse with you, especially when you take less advanced races into account.

Also, by choosing Control, Shepard gains access to a treasure-trove of information that would otherwise be lost and s/he can cooperate with galaxy's scientists in order to utilise it in the best way possible. For instance, the Shepbringer proves that mind uploading is possible and by cooperation with galaxy's best minds they can make it a reality for everyone else, thus giving hundreds or even thousands of extra lifespan to the galaxy's species, something especially important to salarians and vorcha with their 40 and 20 year lifespans.

Finally, even if the "organics-synthetics" problem is real, it is certainly NOT important enough to warrant choosing Synthesis: Shepard-controlled Reaper fleet is powerful enough to stop any significant conflict between oranics and synthetics in its cradle and it can continue doing so till the end of time, such is its power.
