My male Faithful Human canon will turn it into the Divine's Honor Guard.
My female elf canon will disband.
Personally I'd just go with disband since the whole point of Trespasser was getting rid of the Inquisition.

I always like to make my PC's at least a little bit flawed rather than a shining perfect hero. My Inquisitor did what he could throughout the game to bring order back to the land and help the helpless but he's still only human. He kept the Inquisition intact mainly because he didn't want to lose his power base. I'll be willing to accept whatever consequences come with that as I never meta game my role playing decisions.
I disbanded. My boys and girls deserved to go home and have a life unhassled by the ingratitude of those they saved. Next time trouble comes knocking, Ferelden and Orlais can handle it themselves.
My Inquisitor is stubborn as heck. After having everything taken from her (family, freedom in the circle, etc. etc.), she founded this great organization that helped people and didn't want to see it gone. Now, my quizzy's new found power got to her head... and she didn't want to let it go quite easily. So she kept it together, very aggressively.
My initial inclination was to disband. I was all prepared for it because the Inquisition have done what it was meant to do. After hearing the wrangling and hostilities, I understood the viewpoint of both Orlais and Ferelden. Disband. And then Solas came along and upset the applecart.
Disband went out the window. Not when Solas revealed what he intended to do. What can the Inquisition do? What it has always done; gather information, gather allies, though with no visible threat and only hearsay, allies would not come forth that easily. But that doesn't mean the Inq is totally disbelieved. There would be those who will help though the kind of help the Inq really needs is some one who knew what it was like in the "golden age' of the elves. How and what magic was like then, I doubt the current magic practised in Thedas is anywhere near that level. Someone who understand who and what the old 'gods' were. This is where I really hope Flemeth is not truly gone. Other then her, there would the remaining Sleepers from the elven ruin. Would they help Solas instead though? Then there's Morrigan, would Flemeth have left something for her if she knew what Solas intended?
Haven is hardly the place to relocate the HQ since it was where two Breaches happened. Solas could easily make something like it happen again, the starting point since the sky is mended, I doubt it is totally sealed. But perhaps that's the point (besides it being the place originally given for the Devine's use), maybe the Inq intended it that way, better her than anyone else should the next madness start there.
My Inquisitor had no intention of disbanding the Inquisition and that feeling doubled with the Qunari threat and Solas' plan.
Its size was reduced to be more manageable while strong enough to protect the Divine's interests, which is Softened Leliana in my case, and new members were strictly screened. But the Inquisition's main purpose is protecting Leliana and her reforms, disbanded or not Solas knows too much about how the Inquisitor and their inner Circle works. Either way people he doesn't know will be needed.
I ended up with Vivienne as Divine (to my horror), so there was no way I was letting her or the Orlesians control an organisation as powerful as the Inquisition. Better to end it than let it be corrupted by dishonourable schemers and egotists. Plus, I felt that the best way to fight Solas was go underground and battle him from the shadows.
Ultimately, I guess it depends on whether you trust those other powers seeking to influence the Inquisition or you don't. Personally, I didn't trust any of them further than I could throw them, so disbanding was an easy choice.
I'd never hand the Inquisition over to Vivienne. That's be insane. I have Cassandra as Divine though and my Inquisitor saw eye to eye with her on most things, so that makes it hard...
Lavellan Solasmancer (Cass Divine) -> Sad disband. Lavellan will be on her personal quest to redeem her lover and/or wait to see what he plans to do to Elves to see if she will eventually agree with him
(oooopsie!). She is not happy about how she has been treated after all she has suffered....
Trevelyan married to Cullen (Un-hardened Leliana Divine) -> Peaceful resolve of being Leliana's personal guard institution
Leliana as Divine already has many who are wanting to kill her, but I like her. I'm not gonna leave her alone after I convinced her to be Divine
Plus Trevelyan is absolutely terrified about what her friend Solas plans to do, so she isn't willing to let this go and she needs the power of the Inquisition to go on. Plus as others have said, keep it just to spite Teagan and Mother Giselle (don't like how she looked at me when I said I didn't want to disband...)

Disband.
It has nothing to do with who is Divine; I just don't want Solas looking over my shoulder.
Also, if you choose the "Redeem" option, there is an added layer to that, if you listen to his banter with Cassandra - he states that he admires her because she was in position of power, having started off as one of the driving forces of the Inquisition, and yet she stepped down and let others take the lead. He says most people wouldn't let go of power and she gets big props from him for that. So, seeing as I chose "Redeem" with my DefQuiz, I thought, "what better way to start showing him this world is worth preserving than by letting go now, when I am in position of so much power that it is literally beginning to crumble under its own weight?"
Also that whole "I have spies in the Inquisition" thing. If I do come at him eventually, want him to be blind-sided, not expecting me with so much advance he had time to properly chill the wine.
Another dispand vote.
Solas said he had spies in the inquisition.
For my Lavellan the Inquisition had only one purpose - to stop Corypheus. Now, since saving Solas is her personal quest, running the organization would only be another burden. Disband.
Well, no offense, but your Levellan wasn't paying attention. The Inquisition's goal was to close the Breach, find those responsible and restore order (with or without anyone's approval). You just found out that the person responsible is still at large, and anything but order is on the horizon. The Inquisition's job isn't done.
I'm surprised to see the majority of people disbanding.

Well, that's not actually what happens. All Inquisitors keep fighting and go up against Solas.

Yes, that's true of course.
However, if you disband, you're a small band of conspirators again, not a military organization. As I understand it, my little gang is just out to redeem Solas now. And that means next time there's something like "aw, bandits took our keep" or "there's a conspiracy in my palace" or "drats! Qunari everywhere!", I'd much prefer Orlais and Ferelden to rely on their own troops to fix such issues. Please don't touch the corpses until CSI Ex-Inquisition has checked the scene. Thank you.
I almost always disband - preferably with the Aggressive dialogue option, because heck yes.
True, the Inquisition's resources would be useful in a fight against whatever Solas has planned, but then again 1) like Liliana points out, Solas knows both the Inquisition and the Inquisitor, how they work and operate, and 2) the Divine/Peace keeping Inquisition will be confined by the politics of Ferelden and Orlais, not to mention that Divine Inquisition (particularly with Vivienne or Cassandra as a Divine) would be quite the red flag to non-humans (since, if memory serves, only Divine Liliana overhauls the restrictions regarding the clergy and so on) which could cause problems later on. Not to mention that, like Solas said, all organisations are inherently vulnerable to corruption, and I think it's better to disband the Inquisition before the problem becomes any worse. I mean can you imagine the sort of harm the Inquisition could cause if, in the future, one of the Qunari / Solas' spies worked their way up in the ranks to become an advisor or work their way into the Inquisitor's inner circle? IB's betrayal is bad enough, and that wasn't even all that well planned, since they were kinda desperate at that point. Imagine if Solas hadn't intervened, the Inquisition wasn't disbanded and IB would've been able to carry on with business as usual (and probably helping to get other spies into the Inquisition) while the Qunari were able to prepare their take over in peace and actually carry out a proper assault? No one would've been able to stop them.
And, like the post-epilogue slide scene points out, even a disbanded Inquisition is able to rebuild and fight back against whatever Solas is planning to throw at Thedas. Cassandra and Leliana make the disbanded Inquisition sound like an underground movement, or a rebel group or a secret society, which... sounds pretty cool, actually. Also, since the disbanded Inquisition can claim to have no political or religious ties, they can be more flexible and direct with their actions without having to worry about p***ing off their allies / beneficiaries / being forcefully disbanded if they step on too many toes. Being able to seal the rifts and fighting Corypheus gave the Inquisition some leeway in the beginning, but like Teagan says, Corypheus is two years dead and even your divine mandate starts to sound a bit hollow.

True, but Solas (not to mention the Qunari) got into your organisation once, and most probably can do it again - and cause even more damage. Let's be honest, the little skirmish in the Trespasser was mostly Solas trolling the Qunari while going "At least I kill the people I don't consider people so I'm better than you", and the Qunari were just trying to fight a battle of attrition on two fronts while trying to prepare their true attack. When those two decide to actually plan proper attack and have the resources and time to execute it properly... is the day Thedas will be in big trouble. Taking this into account, if the Inquisition's goal is best served by disbanding the Inquisition, wouldn't it be the Inquisition's duty to disband? (( Also, if you'd really want to split hairs, you could point out that the Inquisition's goal was to restore order, not to uphold or keep order - which would favour disbanding. ))
But anyway - the choice is by no means easy, and both will probably come back to bite Thedas in the a** one way or another, so I doubt there's really any right or wrong decision here. I'm just curious to see what different outcomes each decision has in the future games.
While that's technically true, it does not automatically mean that the Inquisition, a large paramilitary organisation, is best suited to pursuing Solas. While raw military power was needed to defeat the daemons, Red Templars, rebel mages, bandits, etc. on friendly soil, such an organisation may not be useful for a much more covert mission in unfriendly territory (Tevinter). Add in the fact that the Inquisition is compromised by spies from various groups, and the organisation starts to look more like a liability than an advantage.Well, no offense, but your Levellan wasn't paying attention.

Honor guard to Cassandra. My human noble is married to Cullen and they both remained with the inquisition. I couldn't see disbanding something that Cassandra started, her baby, and my Sam thought they were still needed (which they obviously still are). She did it angrily too. Fereldon you couldn't take care of your **** and Orlais, your queen is only on the throne because we saved her life. We're not going anywhere arm or no arm.

But they weeded out the spies and were more careful with members they allowed in. So that is no longer a problem. It is no longer a liability. With the amount of elves that Solas has following him, they will need an army to stop him, not a small group of people.
