-did you or did you not gave the evidence

Legion loyalty:
-did you reprogrammed Geth Heretics or destroyed them
-didn't do Legion loyalty
Kept/destroyed Collector base
Fate of David in Overlord DLC
Wall of text incoming!
If you saved the Council humanity will have great relationship with aliens but the Council will probably deny Reaper existence and ignore invasion of Earth. With lot of convincing you will get Council military support but it will time consuming, but Citadel army will have high morale in battle.
If you don't save the Council humanity will have problems in relationship with aliens even with Anderson as councilor. No matter what, Udina will become Councilor and since Earth is attacked he might take immediate action on liberating of Earth and take Reaper invasion seriously. But Citadel army will have poor moral since they will be lead by humans and have to save humans.
If you saved Rachni Queen you will have massive army of Rachni and some fleet too. But if you saved them I don't think Council races and especially Krogans will be happy to help you if you have Rachni on your side. I believe you will have to choose between Krogans( great foot soldiers but no fleet) or Rachni( massive shock troops and some fleet) or you will need a lot of convincing with Krogans which will be time consuming and it will not be possible if you let Wrex to die on Virmire. With the Council it won't be big issue.
If you killed Rachni Queen you won't have that fuss.
If you convinced Wrex on Virmire you will have support of Krogans against Reapers for sure but you will need to help Wrex to unite Krogans. If you killed Thresher Maw in Grunt loyalty, Grunt survived Suicide Mission, Genophage cure and no Rachni( or at least refused their help) you won't have much problem.
If you killed Wrex on Virmire I doubt Wrev will care about Humans at all and he doesn't know anything about Reapers. If Mordin creates Genophage cure he might help. Without it you will have big problems to get Krogan support relaying on Wreav but you might get option to make coup with Grunt if you done his loyalty and it will be a bit easier if you killed Thresher Maw and kept Genophage cure data. Both of that will be time consuming and you will most probably not seek Krogan help.
Worst thing that might happen is to NOT do Mordin loyalty. Weyrloc clan might get Genophage cure and they will have endless army to conquer Tuchanka. No help from them is for sure.
If you gave evidence Quarians will be in chaos and some might leave flotilla so relaying on them then is not advised, especially if they go to war with Geth. Best solution is to make Tali loyal and encourage Quarians make peace with Geth and Geth let them to take back their homeworld. Council my b*tch about it but since Quarians have biggest fleet in galaxy and Geth showed they are superior over Citadel navy, choice is pretty much easy. But it will take a lot of time for Quarians to settle down and give you support so quickest solution for getting help is war and you side with one of 2 sides and best decisions depends how you did both Tali's and Legion's loyalty. More on that later.
If you reprogram Geth Heretics, Geth main faction will be very strong. But if you do that many Geth will question you on why did you "forced" their opinion. If you don't have enough Paragon or Renegade points( or whatever persuasion system will ME3 use) to convince them you did rigth thing Geth won't trust you much but they will give you support against Old Machines. But then Geth-Quarian alliance won't be possible and you will have to choose which side of war will you choose or to convince Quarians not to go to war and settle somewhere else, but you won't have then Quarian support. Since you reprogrammed Geth Heretics it will be more advised to help Geth in war if you gave evidence to Admirals. If not it won't matter much.
If you destroyed Geth Heretics Geth won't question you since they were your enemy. But Geth won't have much forces then and even though Geth-Quarian alliance is very likely done, you can then invade them with Quarians if you didn't gave evidance to Admirals. You won't have any problem with Council but Quarians will still need to settle down before helping you with liberating Earth so time consuming.
If you did NOT do Legion loyalty then Geth Heretics unleashes Virus to reprogrammed all Geth to join Reapers which makes Reapers a lot stronger.
Keeping Collector base will make you to be in good stands with Cerberus and Illusive Man and some technology discovered there might be very useful. But it's still Reaper technology which is alone very dangerous and especially being in terrorist hands, not good idea. Also Council will not appreciate you still being with Cerberus, human lead or not. So you will have to choose between Citadel( strong and massive fleet and army) or Cerberus( very rich terrorist organization with most advance technology). If you don't choose Cerberus, Illusive Man will still help you but very limited since he can't give you direct help.
If you destroyed Collector base then Illusive Man is very pissed at you and he will give you only limited help.
If you let Dr. Archer to keep David then it will be great weapon against Geth Heretics that remained alive/not reprogrammed do to isolation and against main Geth if choose to help Quarians in war against Geth.
If you don't let him keep David then nothing from it but Illusive Man won't mind if you kept Collector base.
So, discuss about it.
