I don't think most people pick destroy because they love it.
The most compelling argument against Destroy: it is utterly, smotheringly boring!

PS: I suppose ME1 and 2's endings were boring in your eyes as well, huh? Vanquish the enemy and go home? Look cool after a military victory? Damn, what made you even play the first two?

Destroy offers the potential for future conflict or lasting peace, for advancement beyond reaper tech, or simply a galaxy content to try and replicate reaper tech. There are so many possibilities in destroy, that it can't be considered boring by any measure.
The difference is between offering potential and providing an actual basis for a conflict. One's a continuation of the setting as it was, the other is a total shift in the setting.

Not biting off your own tongue.
That said, Control is my favorite ending (a la Sun Tzu).

Wrong, OP: Most compelling option against Destroy is and always will be the genocide of all synthetics. But really, all the endings suck, so who really cares?

That is an interesting point you made there with mentioning the first 2 games.

I'm not sure which ending you are referring to. In Control, it is more status quo, as the reapers have always been a "guardian" of sorts to the galaxy, shifting the way history played out to suit their needs. Before control, people were simply ignorant of this, after control it becomes more pronounced. Destroy allows for this ignorance to become reality, with everything perhaps looking like it used to, but really it is far different now that there are no reapers guiding the way. And really, everything post ending is "lots of speculation for everyone", each offers potential and a basis for conflict, except maybe synthesis.
@ FOX,
I think I might have to claw my eyes out and employ some brain bleach thanks to you.

Your point on "speculation for everyone" was what I was eluding to back in my first posts on this thread.

Well the conflict can take the form of the galaxy reacting to the changes. In Control, how do the people react to this new police state? In Synthesis, how do people react to becoming partly synthetic? Destroy doesn't have that. The change is the removal of the Geth but the Geth were already outside the scope of most of the setting. Only the Quarians cared about them and they were already braced for the Geth to be wiped out. Rather than having a basis for conflict, there is nothing here but potential. Destroy is a shift in the setting because it can't play off of anything.

In fact, after witnessing all the reaper-incurred horrors throughout three games, after losing countless allies because of them, I find destroy so incredibly satisfying.
To wipe those monstrosities off the map is the only thing I feel good about.
And I see the aftermath of destory as a positive one:
there's as much validity in hoping that we - the cycle - learn from our mistakes here. After seeing the geth and quarians potentially unite against a common threat - my hope is that that galaxy will forever treat the 'created' as equals.
Destroy doesn't have to be bleak just like Contorl and Synthesis don't have to be grim (although I still think they are).
It's all about perspective.

That seems rather unfair. I choose Destroy and am aware of this short-coming of it.
