Destroy all the way.
Remember kids; Just because a Red Space Magic EMP wipes out EDI and the Geth doesn't mean they can't be restored or rebuilt in some way. They're still computers, which means they still follow computer rules; you don't consider you're laptop dead and gone if you have at least SOME working hardware/software left.
Also, I didn't want to give Starbucks the Dungeon Master (Starkid) the satisfaction of compromising.

The way I see it, Geth build new platforms to... umm... reproduce. So if you build more, it would be the same thing as if the Geth had built it. Then you extract the Reaper Code from a dead Geth and, Boom, new geth just as good as the old.

I Choose Destroy both times (Vanilla and Extended) but with the hope that there will be a Geth Rebuilt DLC (Along with EDI)

You can't "rebuild" sentient beings, they would be the same. EDI was a unique platform and the Geth reached individuality so once destroyed they would be gone. And I doubt that after a galaxy wide war against god-like synthetics anybody would approve of bringing more sentient synthetics into being.

You would be building, at best, copies, clones, but the originals would be lost. Doesn't make up for the genocide of an entire race.

The Geth had non-reaper code in them long before the upgrade (the EMP targets Reaper code), and kept copies of themselves. As for whether or not the galaxy would approve, I recall both Shepard and Tali having quite a bit of sway by the end of the game. Finally, if Green Space Magic can fuse organic and synthetic life, I don't see how it can be impossible to bring EDI (not a copy, the genuine article) back.
So long as Bioware doesn't directly shoot it down, there's always room for speculation, interpretation and prediction. Mine say they're savable.

Actually, the Crucible targets all synthetics, the star brat says that Shepard may die because he is partly synthetic. That would also target the copies as well. As for EDI, once she is gone, she is gone, because she is an individual conscienceless, you could create more AI, but even call it EDI, but it would be her, just like a your child is not you. As for the Space Magic, since I don't buy into the whole ending anyway, that would be non starter for me.
And I don't see Bioware (I mean EA) reversing course, everything they done after the original ending has been to distract gamers from it, even throwing together a fan fic pack (Citadel) just so that we forget all about it.

As I recall, they change up the dialogue for more ambiguous terms in the EC. Instead of being absolute, Starbucks' dialogue is changed to say something along the lines of "what is destroyed can be rebuilt." As it is, EDI evolves and changes her code quite a bit throughout the course of ME3, so while it may not be possible to bring her back EXACTLY as she was, I should think it's possible to bring her back MOSTLY as she was. Like if your friend woke from a coma missing a couple years of memory. You wouldn't call them an utterly different person; you'd say they were just missing some bits. Hell, sentience in general is a VERY sticky topic in fiction and reality. For all we know, ME2 and ME3 Shep may not technically be the SAME Shep from ME1; they changed him up quite a bit, and he was clinically DEAD for 2 years.
Also, I wasn't saying Bioware might backpedal. I was saying they haven't shot it (bringing back EDI and/or the Geth) down; combine that with Casey Hudson's own apparent love of "Speculation!" and there's really nothing saying it can't happen.
Overly optimistic? Perhaps. But that's how my Paragon Shepard would have played it.
