Oh look! Another thread where we can ****** each other off<_<
Let's face it, these "discussions" usually just come down to a slap fight between Talimancers and LegionLovers, or between Talihaters and other in general (Seriously, those that complain about Talimancers often goes out of their way to try and make them angry)
I'm hoping I'll get the chance to paragon my ass out of this sticky situation, but if you'd twist my arm and force me I'd sacrifice the geth. As a race and culture the quarians are far more important to preserve and rebuild IMHO.
The geth are a highly interesting race with technical capabilities that few of the other races can match (not even the quarians maybe), and they are certainly a military powerhouse.
Personally though, I don't see what else we can learn from them, as they haven't yet fully evolved as a culture. If we save them and stop the reapers they would be unknowing to the workings of organic politics and mindsets. They will make conclusions based purely on mathematics and logic, which is troubling in negotiations with emotionally driven creatures like most organics. It's higly possible that contributions from the geth would be severly limited after the reaper threat is dealt with. It would take time to integrate them I'd guess, and they would face even more procecution than even the quarians have faced earlier.
But then again; LEGION<3
The quarians on the other hand already share more similarities with us, I dare say they are some of the most human races we have encountered. They are an ancient race and had once a seat on the council, so no integration would be needed. They are obviously technically brilliant, and with the needed resources (which the geth are sitting on atm) they would become a great asset to the galaxy. Not only in science and engineering, but also in arts and folk culture which they reportedly exell at. In contrast to the geth, they have a fully evolved culture, and it would be highly unwise to discard as nothing more than stray dogs. Those attitudes are never beneficial!
