On Omega:
Why would Cerberus want to take over Omega?
Trade?
Another Base?
or
A third thing? :-p
Cerberus is risking a serious amount of resources in attacking, capturing and holding Omega. They have a fleet, ground troops, etc.
There has to be a reason for it. Additionally, there has to be a reason it was mentioned and made part of the story. If the DEVS didn’t want to re-do Omega for ME3 they could have come up with numerous reasons for Aria to be on the Citadel.
If Cerberus just wanted another base they could have built another one. Maybe it is actually more cost-effective to attack Omega than build a space station of that size. But as pointed out previously, its shape is very similar to that of the Crucible. Perhaps it is a Crucible that was constructed by the Protheans or another race.
And if TIM & Cerberus were bent on using it to control the reapers then it would also be highly probable that TIM reprogrammed the Prothean VI to send Shepard and the Alliance to earth & the Citadel and risk their Crucible in a vain attempt to stop them. This would give TIM time to complete his plans. Perhaps this is why after the “ending” the save game takes you back to just before assaulting the Cerberus base.
well I was curious and I compared Omega and the Crucible...

their "tail" and "head" are the same.. omega has only an asteroid in the head and the tail is a bit damaged.
maybe it won't be nothing important but .. I don't know.. SPECULATIONS!
