Found this thread and felt like confirming everything but destroy ending feels a bit like delirium. Just not believable.
While killing the enemy is an honorable, clear goal, I have been aiming at through the series, the other two solutions are... strange.
Synthesis, even if a likely stage in the development of sentient beings, is SUDDEN and in no way comes as a natural development, but rather as an alien intrusion, prone to heavy commotion and distress in the common way of life. I wouldn't assume that these new husks would persue their habitual goals, like reconstructing cities and producing offsprings, if not simply dying out of severe shock. Synthesis, if employed, should come as evolutionary development, not as surgery operation.
Control, beside the mentioned doubts about what reaper-thing Shepard becomes, gives me a "deus ex machina" feeling, we now have an omni-potent god that does all the job, while we can all retire and play video games. It is also a bit creepy to watch the Reapers, made of tons of dead bodies each, play nice and pretend to be child loving builders of peace now. Really, like playing with a dead clown, he looks all fun, but that smell...
