While taking up as little space as I can I shall argue against all your points using the indoctrination theory. 1. Shepard knows that there is always hope that Synthetics ( AI, Geth ect) will live peacefully with organics ( Humans, Asari, Turians ect.) Also the Catalyst was wrong when it came to the fact that Synthetics and Organics can never get along ( Assuming you managed to unite the Quarians and the Geth in ME3.) 2. Synthesis is by no means the best option, in fact it's exactly what the reapers want. The reapers are trying to harvest all organic life in similar sense of what Synthesis does. The Catalyst just makes it seem like it would Benefit Organics ( Because the Catalyst is trying to indoctrinate him.) 3. Control is the worst option IMO for this reason even if you do not believe in the Indoctrination theory ( Which I acknowledge not everyone does and that's fine ) you have to admit that Shepard after 3 years of being constantly around reapers and reaper tech must be starting to feel effects of indoctrination ( Shepard after all is still only human) and the Catalyst told Shepard that the Illusive man could never control the reapers because they already Indoctrinated or are indoctrinating him at the time. So it would also be impossible for Shepard to control them. 4. Have you noticed that when the Catalyst explains the Destroy option Shepard envisioned Admiral Anderson ( Who Shepard looked up to and saw as everything good in the universe) if Shepard was being indoctrinated ( Which all things so far point up mill house) then they would try to make him think destroying them would be the bad ( Renegade ) option. 5. That 4th option you are talking about, well I haven't seen anything on that really but personally I just believe that is Shepards mind out right refusing anything the Catalyst has to say thus completely stopping the indoctrination attempt ( As well as choosing destroy) which can also explain why the Catalyst becomes angry ( He also disappears in an angry fashion in the destroy ending too.) Anyway this is what I believe as most if not all of what the indoctrination theory suggests is prominent in the game and makes sense.
