I've seen a youtube video where a player is grabbed by a banshee and he just nope'd it (not cuz someone missiled her)
and then in last game there is a turian havoc who kept meleeing a banshee for 15 seconds and lived.
I thought there isnt a way to stop once someone starts sync-killing you? 
also apparently enemies can see u if u cloak in front of them and thus can sync-kill an invisible man. :/
If you Ops Survival Pack right before a Phantom or whatever grabs you, you can avoid getting killed. I've seen it happen with Atlas also; never tried it on Banshee myself but I guess it's possible
Once the Banshee Novas and her glitter goes away you can melee safely

I didnt know that. thanks purpguy1 and dumdum002.
Sync-kills can be stopped if you can stagger the offender before they get to the part where they kill you. Next time you see someone getting sync-killed try using throw.

Yeah, like I haven't been stabbed by a staggered Phantom before.
Things that can deny sync-kills:
You can sometimes (?) avoid being synced if there's an object in the way that blocks the sync kill animation. For example, if there's a table or crate between you and the banshee which doesn't let her lift you up fully, she'll just put you down again. I wouldn't count on it, though.
You can OPs through quick animation sync kills. The animation is too long on Banshees or Praetorians BUT if another enemy kills you just as the sync finishes sometimes you get instarevived, they also will drop you if there isn't enough room to finish the sync sometimes but rarely. Ramps and stairs give you some protection against syncs as you have to be on the same level for the Banshee to initiate the sync kill.
This. The only syncs you can survive via ops packs are Phantoms and Brutes (maybe Atlas, don't know for sure).You can OPs through quick animation sync kills.

I have had a few strange instances where I have unloaded a clip into a banshees face while being held and have been dropped. Probably more a case of lag + other players damaging her

This can happen if you are using Incendiary Rounds.
If you get sync-killed immediately after Medi-gel'ing, you will not die from it at all, but this only applies to fast sync-kills though like Phantoms. Also, if you go down with your missile launcher in your hand and you gel, and right after you gel you get pulled into a sync kill animation, you can actually shoot your missile and kill your enemy. A great tactic if you know you're gonna get surrounded.
Things that can deny sync-kills:
- If you use your Ops Packs or Stim Packs you get a 1 second sync-kill immunity.
- Use a Geth Juggernaut
- Doing enough damage to a sync-killer makes them release their victims
- Quick Missile
- Or just kill them before they can complete the sync-kill animation
- Slopes
You forgot the most important,famous kill-stealer-Marauder Shields
Combo Explosions do the job quite well. I tried a Sentinel build with excessive force on throw but it didn't work well because they gain stagger resistance.
just hack your game files, remove synckill and have fun 
ive seen someone save themselves from a banshee by killing her with reave while in the sync kill animation
It's trickier with the Banshee to use the Op pack trick cause the animation is longer. But I know the op pack invulnerability works with brutes and phantoms. Flamer, reave, AF and any other heavy DoT power if it reaches the damage threshold to make the Banshee drop the unfortunate player.
From experience, certain powers* can deny a sync-kill. I have seen Ballistic Blades, MultiFrags and Tech Armor detonations work to name a few.
*Note: Not when you are grabbed, but if someone else is grabbed and you happen to be nearby at that time. Lash works on Phantoms, as the one formally known as B00g13Man has seen this first hand.
I-frames from nova-cancelling also denies short sync-kills animations, like phantom's.
