I agree, the Reapers must be destroyed and afterward no one will ever forget such a huge and costly war versus the machines and thus would be unlikely to repeat the same mistakes. I just finished the destroy ending and I am relatively satisfied as now neither the Mass Relays nor the Citadel are totally destroyed, just heavily damaged and are later rebuilt. The only thing that I didn't like about the option is that you are forced to destroy the Geth and EDI along with all other synthetic life and not just the Reapers, this is especially annoying considering how much time and effort I spent cultivating the Geth as allies.
