Luckily I have no dilemma on this. I pretty much see no longevity for a Shepard and Miranda romance, so regardless of how she's treated in ME3 they'll be split up. Either she dies, giving him some degree of guilt and regret for letting her go or she lives and they separate like I originally thought they would. I think a better fit for Beau Shepard would be to have him go back to Ashley, she's the more "stable" of the two and after the whirlwind that was his time fighting the reapers he's seeking some normalcy. Miranda couldn't provide that even if she wanted to.
It sort of depends on the Shepard. My Shepard, James doesn't really like the idea of settling down anytime soon. He's fought through the entire galaxy and wants to do something that doesn't involve war and destruction. Ideally an ending with Miranda would involve working for the organization she builds.
In the event that the Miranda romance doesn't satisfy in ME3 and she doesn't survive the war I can sort of see him turning into a Death Seeker . He wins the war, and by sheer luck comes out of it alive. I sort of picture him heading off to fight injustice alongside Samara, seeking a noble end.
Of course it depends on how you rp them. The Shepard I paired her with originally was drawn to Miranda because he was impressed with the operation she was running and made him see her the way other people see him. A bit of hero worship that grows once they got closer.
Any Shepard that's traveling with Samara isn't going to be alone for very long anyway.

I always considered Liara the most "stable" of all the LIs actually.. Ashley has quite a strong personality IMO.. so does Miranda of course (but my Shep is looking forward to their relation anyway).
Ashley is very domineering, but she's equally nurturing if not more so. In fact, her tougher side was tempered by having to be a surrogate parent and raising her sisters. That length of time and close relationship with her family influenced her to be the type of person who wants to protect people that are close to her with little thought of her own person. Miranda doesn't have these qualities because her life caused her to grow into someone very different. She's the type of person that would want to continue in the service, but also want a home with Shepard.
In Me1, Liara was perhaps the most stereotypical version of the t.v. girlfriend from the 50's. Very agreeable, very easy going and
way too interested and devoted in her boyfriend with little thought to herself or who she is as an individual. This can be chalked up to her being so "young," and Tali suffered from the same thing.
