1. Drink dat mysterious elven goodness >.>
2. Make Vivienne divine and not as a friend, cuz that supposedly leaves the Chantry really unstable.
3. Disband that ****.
Gotta make way for that elven revolution by making human society as unstable as possible. 
On my first playthrough in Origins I folded so easily to Morrigan, mainly because I got the game later, at the same time with Awakening, and wanted to import my char. And in Inq Mythal gets the soul, becoming more powerful, then passing said power to Solas, who wants to blow up the wold. 
From that point, it was Loghain every single time. It's a win, win, win. Although the game might retcon this and say that Mythal had a plan B, as in another daughter that went through with the ritual using another GW. Anyway, I'll take a maybe bad over 100% bad every time.
Well of Sorrows. If Cory was smart enough to have one of his minions doing it in his place...enough said.
I wanted an option in which you could keep the Inq, but not under the thumb of the Divine. We know that this Divine is acceptable, but the next one might not be. Why give power to a future despot? The Inq was created to change things in a major way, and the previous Divine was planning in enacting it even before the accident at the Temple of the Sacred Ashes, thus giving us the message that the Chantry needs to change in a major way. To give up after only two years and not much of a change would be stupid, and it would make her ultimate sacrifice a pointless one.
But sadly, no Inq is better than one under Chantry control. Especially if said Inquisition sided with mages.
I know how you feel, decisions are getting tougher. Took me a good while to figure out what I wanted to do but with Siani, my canon elf mage here's how it went down.
1) Siani drank from the Well. With all the unknowns she decided she should be the one to do it for Kieran's sake in case something went wrong she couldn't leave him motherless, the thinly veiled passive aggressive threat by my Warden in his letter certainly helped that decision.
2) Divine, I have softened Leliana. Just for my world state, it worked out the best.
3) Disband, in a wonderful aggressive fashion. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a world to save. Again."
Nothing against Leliana being Divine, love her, or the Chantry but after all the crap that happened in Trespasser Siani was done with the politics, people trying to use her, and not to mention all the spies. So she pulled in the ranks and decided only too keep the people she trusted in on the mission. Plus as he was part of her inner circle and love interest Solas is her responsibility, she doesn't want to sit way up above it all but handle it herself and hopefully stop him in time to change his mind.
All these decisions are very personal to the type of character and if metagaming (hard to avoid) the world state you wish this story to have.
Lavellan Solasmancer:
1- Helps the mages
2- Makes Cole more Spirit
3- Drinks from the well
4- Cassandra Divine
5- Disbands the Inquisition
6- Wants to Redeem Solas
Trevelyan Cullenmancer (is that even a word?):
1- Helps the templars
2- Makes Cole more Human
3- Lets Morrigan drink from the well
4- Softened Leliana as Divine
5- Inquisition serves as Leliana's personal guard
6- Wants to redeem Solas but will kill him if no other solution is given
Basically my Lavellan is more spiritual and more into the "Ancient Ways". She was fascinated by what she learned in Trespasser and she doesn't want to remain tied to the Inquisition specially because she got very sad and emotional after how Ferelden and Orlais treated her. So she wants to be on her own quest to redeem her lover.
My Trevelyan is less driven by faith and more realistic. She knows how to get by in the world and feels at ease with dealing with those fools in Ferelden and Orlais. She enjoyed the Game. She is righteous and sure of herself and doesn't have any regrets. She is quite satisfied with what she has built and wouldn't dream of giving it away. She needs her organization to do her best to protect Thedas against what is to come.
LONG STORY SHORT: 2 different characters, completely opposite decisions 
this way I get both XD
And in Inq Mythal gets the soul, becoming more powerful, then passing said power to Solas, who wants to blow up the wold.
I tend to choose the decisions I think my character would choose rather than worrying what's for the best. That said, I'm pretty comfortable with how my main play-through turned out.
Inquisitor Cadash
1. Drink dat mysterious elven goodness >.>
2. Make Vivienne divine and not as a friend, cuz that supposedly leaves the Chantry really unstable.
3. Disband that ****.
How is an unstable chantry a good thing?
Oh right you want solas to win and kill literally everyone. Got it.
1. I'm not drinking that. I don't know what's in it. All yours, Morrigan.
2. Cassandra, because Leliana is an unrealistic idealist and Vivienne is a megalomaniac.
3. Disband. The Inquisition did it's job and its better to disperse its power than let it potentially be misused in future.
Megalomaniac or Megalovaniac?
I was all for Vivienne as Divine but the fact that an opposing college of Mages starts up regardless annoys me. I wanted her to quell the unrest with the Mages with a more improved circle in which they're a lot less confined but at least overseeing them less they turn to something harmful. I figure she'd make it similar to Tevinter but no blood magic.
I'm liking Leliana more as Divine with Cassandra assisting and that she's still kind of your spymaster. However, with Leliana as Divine I can't get Vivy into that ridiculous gold divine battle armor which I adore.
Also as far as the Well of Sorrows, if we lose the Inky as a protagonist next game what is the point? Depending on who drank they'll probably do some sub-par side quest in the next installment and Morrigan or the Inky comes back to relay some advice from the Well of Sorrows and that's the last you see of the Inky at least. Kinda like sacrificing Alistair, Loghain or Stroud.
I know right? Seriously just drop the mage plot bioware this invalidation is getting old.

Inquisitor Cadash
- Didn't drink from the Well of Sorrows
- Supported Cassandra as Divine
- Disbanded the Inquisition
I always go this route as well. Cass is middle of the road and a reformer. She seems to have the best results. I disband on a positive note. A new group makes sense because of the corruption.

I despise the Chantry and anyone that practices Andrastianism (Correct spelling?) so it is rather obvious that I want their downfall and complete and utter destruction 
And no, I don't want Solas to win, I want the Dalish to establish dominance over the lands and spread the worship of the Creators, the true gods ^__^
The Well
There's too little evidence one way or the other as to whether it's best if the Inquisitor or Morrigan drinks. Obviously whoever drank is under a geas to obey Flemeth, but does that pass on to Solas? We don't even know for sure what Solas did apart from get a power up. Based on information datamined from Inquisition Flemeth's plan was to pass her power and divinity onto Morrigan. Whether drinking from the Well would help with that, or if Bioware is even going to continue that plot, is unknown.
Divine choice
Trespasser essentially made this choice largely irrelevant. Not matter who's Divine Victoria or whether you chose to ally or conscript the mages or Templars, there's always a reformed Circle and an independent College of Enchanters. The only difference is Leliana opening the priesthood to men and women of all races and reinstating the Canticle of Shartan. If Leliana is Inspired she continues her reforms depsite organised resistance and assassinations attempts; if she's steeled she destroys the opposition.
The Inquisition
I spent the whole damn game building up the Inquisition. No way in hell am I ever disbanding it; there's still too much work to do.
I haven't done this but if you pick Leliana it makes sense to protect her. I tend to always pick Cass. I might play again and pick Leliana.

Oh my! You mean those crazy power hungry mages that almost destroyed the world according to Solas. Oh yes, he has a plan and all his plans go well.

Pffbbt! As if we can trust the lies of the Dread Wolf

He lies when he wants too. The game gives you plenty of information without him to know the mages were power hungry. Did you play The Descent yet?

Read the codexes in Trespassers and The descent. That will give you all you need to know. They were power hungry and unleashed something that they had to seal away because they couldn't control it. Yes, The Elves did it!

You want the people who enslaved elves and unleashed the blight to rule?
Have fun with that.

Fenehedis lasa! You do not understand, and you never will, for you have taken to the lies of the Dread Wolf. The Dalish will rise and the Creators will return

Must you persist with your lies? They do not phase this true son of the Dales
I wouldn't drink from the well. I don't think it's a good idea to have one of the only people (and leader of those people) who knows the extent of Solas' plans under control of anyone.
yes if you disband the Inquisition and don't care about it anymore,more than yes if you are a Dalish,absolutly yes since Flemeth is dead and if the inq will not come back in DA4.
No if the Inquisition is not disbanded and you care to stop Solas,no if you are not a Dalish,no if the Inq will come back in DA4.

Okay having fun now! Solas is the the source of the codexes we speak of.

If you disband it doesn't mean you don't care. It means you want to start with a new group. That is the scene I got. Disband on a positive note.
Here's my guess.
From a game developers point of view, I don't think they would ever let your Inquisitor be mindlessly controlled by Mythal/Solas. Fans love their Inquisitor so much, he/she is the hero and your personal character. So they wouldn't "kill him off" that way, it would tick too many people off.
If the Inky was under some evil control by Mythal/Solas, then there would be a provided way for him/her to get out of it. Just like the Hero of Ferelden searching for a cure. Even Hawke lives and either leaves to notify the other Wardens, or left in the Fade with no hint of his/her death.
So drinking from the well not only will have no immediate negative effects (actually, if you drink it, you get to interpret some codex's and you get to pass by some guardian spirits), but drinking from the well will most likely have no long term negative effects unless the developers are just cruel.
There will likely be a way provided out of mind control, if it's even brought up again.
Still, even thinking this, I'm torn between me or Morrigan, simply because you just don't know.
I only disbanded once in the games that I've played. That Teagan just rubs me the wrong way, which is why I generally keep the Inquisition going. FU Teagan, FU.
