I chose Control. The reason I did this was because, in my little Mass Effect world, I feel like Shepard, after hearing the starchild, would begin to realize that perhaps the only way to ensure the safety of the Galaxy AS WELL AS preserve what has been fought for, (I was able to unite the Quarians and the Geth), was to take control. This is a twist seen many times in the film world where the protagonist would suddenly realize some dealbreaking piece of information. While in the first ending I would have chosen Destroy, now that I know Shep becomes a God and makes the Reapers help rebuild what has been lost AND synthetic life is preserved, I feel like control may be my favorite ending. And while some would say "the synthetics and organics would just fight against each other later," I disagree. The fact that the entire Galaxy was united together shows that Synthetics and Organics CAN work together, without having to be physically merged in to the same body, as in the synthesis ending.
