I'll agree with your first proposal. That one sounds like it could have merit. The second one? Not so much. Going to dark space to talk to the Reapers to "persuade them to leave the galaxy alone"? Really? A) Why would they agree to any such thing? B) Why would anyone believe them even if they did agree? I see Shepard getting back from that trip, getting off the transport, holding up a document, and saying "I have spoken to the Reaper leader, Harbinger, and we have signed this document, ensuring peace in our time." Right... then a year or so later, the Reapers kill everyone. I'm sorry, but if the solution entails either talking to the Reapers to get them to play nice, or something as trite as fighting a few avatars for the fate of the galaxy, that's where I will have to draw the line.
