The collector base argument is intriguing in the sense that it has created quite the debate. The logical/calculating choice seems to be to keep it, because of the vast tactical advantages we can potentially gain from it. While destroying it is more of the emotional/justice driven choice. The whole point of the suicide mission is to take the fight to the Collectors. You never go into enemy territory thinking, "hey we'll beat 'em all up and keep their house...". You go in thinking "we're gonna tear everything up because they've done irreparable damage to us...". So if you are a person who is more revenge driven, then there is your choice. While if you are the improvising tactician you have the other choice.
I will say though that the reasoning alignment for the choice wasn't really the best presented. It makes it out that by keeping the base you're disrespecting everyone who died in there, which is not really the case. On the flip side, by destroying it you're being irrational and sacrificing a tactical advantage for the sake of closure, when thats not necessarily the case either.
Surely if you follow the Justicar Code 
you will want to destroy that base, as a peaceful resolution is long past. See how I tied it back to Samara? 
Bravo, we must keep Samara in mind of course.
Yeah I tend to think that we are not offered enough choices on this and several other decisions. I also genuinely feel that some of the Paragon choices that are made concerning the various decisions are not the right ones. I also try not to metagame and compromise my beliefs and change my decisions later. I did however do that with Shiala. People have made the argument that everything involving Reaper technology involves indoctrination. Not necessarily IMO. That was a Collector Base not a Reaper. Yes there is a baby Reaper, but frankly it could be totally obliterated if it is indeed a threat.
I have said before that it does not seem like Bioware will be rewarding the Paragade with some of these decisions. I also feel like the game should roll the dice with some of the ramifications from these grey area decisions.
The full paragon has it too easy IMO.
At the very least we should be able to go to Samara for council on these choices and exploit her great wisdom. See I can tie her into it to.
