You're forgetting one very important thing in that thought process reaperredeemer. The Geth Heretics are almost the same as husks. They've been forcefully mutated into a reaper's will made manifest.
I'll give an example of what I'm getting at. A woman has been stabbed by a dragon's tooth and been completely converted into a husk. This husk will run around slaughtering anything in it's way but before that it was a wife of 15 years and a mother of 2. You then come across an item that will rewrite the husk reverting it's cognitive functions back to that of the woman that was lost. Fully allowing it to become human once again.
If you could give back what was lost, from a raving stark crazy monster, to return them back to their original way, would you do it? It's not brainwashing in the traditional sense. They've already been brainwashed, that's what caused the error in the code. Is it really so cruel to remove the damage that was done to them to allow them to think for themselves again?
That is why it's the Paragon option, that which is not dead, can always choose to make itself better.
I have a sneaky feeling it will be the "Heretic" Geth which will fight for you and that the Homeworld Geth are the devious ones.
If your curious how I came to that, think hard about Legion.
You slaughtered thousands of Geth. The Geth that weren't being killed then decided to send an autonomous unit solo to find Shepard. A single platform, given enough Geth programs to be fully functional. It's not that they were sent to understand the reaper tech like when you come across him. Legion has been tracking Shepard for 2 years! The beacon problem only occurs recently!
Why would anyone ever send a single unit out in covert actions against a specific individual that has shown repeated success against your kind? If it were peace talks why not just go straight to the Quarians, losing a few platforms sure but they'd get the hint eventually. Geth do not die so long as they have a FTL comm system to download off, so they could simply keep sending messengers. Legion was sent out specifically for Shepard. Sounding shadier yet?
I like your comparison to the ability to revert a "monster" back to in to its original more human form. As for Legion being "shady", I'm not convinced. I forget exactly what reason Legion gave for seeking Shepard out. I think it had to do with the fact that the Geth are fascinated by his ability to resist a Reaper which is also their enemy. As Legion goes on to say, it would be mutually beneficial for both the Geth and Shepard's forces to work together against a common enemy.
What is fascinating and which may have profound implications appears to be the emergence of individuality in Legion (i.e. holding on to a piece of Shepard's former N7 armor).

Now get them on board as willing partners and it may well be an entirely different story.
