Neither of those options, OP. I did disband the Inquisition, but I did it because the only alternative was to put it under control of the Chantry. Of two undesirable options, I chose the lesser evil.
Thinking about it, perhaps it's for the best. My Inquisitor never wanted religious power, she wanted secular power. Still, the outcome stings.

I was super happy about being able to disband - my dalish Inky never wanted to be part of the Chantry, and she had earlier in the game been inspired by the story of how the first Inquisition laid down their arms when they were no longer needed. Can't recall her exact reaction though, but I think it was the happy response. Now she is going to spend most of her time hunting down her silly boyfriend in secret!

I had it turned into a peacekeeping organization. The Inquisition can still do a lot of good for all groups in Thedas, so disbanding it is just a waste.

I've done it both ways. But my first "canon" run I kept it as a Chantry peacekeeping force. It's a gamble, but we may need that force to stop Solas.

How do you mean? I just mean I didn't self-insert when I played Trespasser. I didn't make choices I would personally do, but what was in character for my Inquisitor. My personal feeling about whether or not to disband...I'm undecided. I think there are arguments for both. I tried to self-insert in Dragon Age 2...but she morphed into someone totally unlike me. I guess I'm just kind of bad at it. X) Like, where is choice 5, go to the Hanged Man and buy everyone a round, because Thedas is miserable?

My canon Inquisitor Lavellan did an angry disband. As he said to Solas after Haven, he expected people to turn on him eventually and in some ways he was surprised it took them so long. Nevertheless, he was thoroughly p****ed off with them all. Also he took the lessons of history. Ameridan handed over the first Inquisition to the Chantry and look what they did to it. Divine Leliana had also advised him to let it go. She thought he was better working from the shadows (well he is an assassin). Besides she could easily end up assassinated and he'd be stuck with serving whoever the Chantry voted in next. He hates the Chantry so there is no way he wanted to continue to be a part of it.
He was a bit worried about Briala but trusted that Leliana would at least keep her safe. If Gaspard was too stupid to see that the reforms would benefit Orlais in the long run that was too bad. He now has nothing but contempt for the nobility of Ferelden. He couldn't believe that speech from Teagan after all the Inquisition had done in keeping Ferelden safe. This is why I thought the angry disband speech was just perfect.
He has gone back to the Freemarches to build on what he started with his clan in Wycome, with the support of the Viscount of Kirkwall. It also leaves him freer to visit his lover Dorian in Tevinter when events allow. Plus concentrate on tracking down Solas.

Disband. I've always known that Inquisition must go down one way or another, since befroe the Trespasser. I'm glad they had given me that bitter-sweet option instead of a mere page in a DA codex and\or a tweet. I would never ask for a better ending.
Also, I think that it makes perfect sense for a templar-sided Inquisitor, which had seen how wrong things may go eventually. Those memories + all the evidence of ongoing corruption do not leave much room for hesitation.

My canon Inquisitor (Dalish mage) went through kind of a whirlwind, first not understanding the point of the Inquisition (why fight violence with more violence?). Over time she grew to understand it and seriously considered keeping it. But in the end she badass-disbanded it because the risk of corruption was too big.

I don't have a "canon" Inquisitor. I've played too many times to pick one as "The One." I've both kept it together and disbanded, though probably done the latter more often. Either way, I always pick the "angry" option because pretty much everyone in Trespasser pisses me off. I'm not a fan of folding into the Chantry like the original Inquisition did, but since staying independent (why did we have all those treaties and agreements again?) wasn't an option, it's the only way to keep the organization in power. For disbanding, I do like the idea of telling all the nobles off and can't wait until the shit hits the fan again and there's no Inquisition to save their butts. Serves 'em all right.

I've done both twice, once time each to fight and redeem Solas. Last night; disband to redeem, so that's how I voted.

Disbanded. Like Jensen before her, my Inquisitor never asked for this; she would have happily thrown in the towel after Corypheus was done, let the mantle fall on someone else's shoulders and run off into the hills with Cullen to live a quiet life, never to be seen or heard from again. Having everyone chastising her at the beginning of Trespasser was a bit frustrating when all I wanted was to say, "You're so right! Purpose fulfilled!" and leave them all to it.

As far as my Inquisitor Lavellan was concerned, the Inquisition's goal was to seal the breach, find those responsible, and restore order, whatever that may be. That is what she agreed to at Haven. Helping people came along with it, and she was more than okay with that. They did that, and then it all went downhill. Just like the last Inquisition. Whether or not people will remember it ages to come, they did a lot of good, in her eyes, and that was satisfying enough. They did what was necessary, and what they set out to do. Sure they helped some Avvar and some Dwarves and restored some lost history afterwards, but that was all in the past and the Inquisition in Trespasser was no longer one she could bring herself to care about. Josephine always talking about politics and seeing Teagan's face was getting to her anyway.
Whatever she plans to do next, she doesn't need nor want the Chantry's approval. What has the Chantry ever done for her and elves anyway? The Inquisitor was angry and tired throughout Trespasser, but calmly disbanded the Inquisition thanking all of those who had played their part. Personally, I would have thrown the book at someone's head.

I disbanded. Solas just knows it too well: that makes it a liability. I also don't want to create a repeat of the Templars and their deterioration over the centuries. I trust Leliana, but I have no idea who her successor will be, or who the successor's successor will be. Better not to give the Chantry that much power again.
It's not like my Trevelyan doesn't have resources without the Inquisition.
The ex-Inquisitor himself is part of a prominent family in the Free Marches, even if he's not on good terms with them. The Teyrn of Ostwick at least would probably want to be on his good side. He's a friend of the freaking Divine, which by extension gets him access to Ferelden since the Divine is a good friend of both the king and the king's mistress. He can always blackmail Celene and Briala if their gratitude is not enough. His relationship with the Iron Bull gets him access to the gratitude of the many people the Chargers have helped, plus contacts with quite a few other mercenary companies. The College of Enchanters owes their existence to him, not to mention he's a mage himself. He's a friend of the Viscount of Kirkwall, who is the best friend of the Champion of Kirkwall. His friendship with both Blackwall and Leliana gets him access to at least some of the Grey Wardens. His friendship with Cassandra gives him access to both the Seekers and some of Nevarra's nobility. Sera gives him the much more organized Red Jennies. Dorian gives him access to Tevinter's reformists, which may be able to get concessions from some of the traditionalists if circumstances are dire enough. He's earned the gratitude of a resurgent noble family in Antiva. Even Vivienne might be willing to help out of gratitude despite the fact that their mage factions are opposed to each other.
There's probably more that I'm not thinking of right now, but the ex-Inquisitor's resources go far beyond the Inquisition itself.

A gift from my Inq to Divine Leliana so that now she and the warden LI(PC prince) are even more powerful than before,I will pick every option that will rise my power since i want to crush all of my enemies and there are still some in Thedas so they better watch their back because I'm coming after them.

Well I guess until I decide which playthrough I am going to import into DA 4 ( IE the Warden Question). I guess I will just have to go with my initial thoughts.
Kara Trevelyan kept the Inquisition as a much smaller Honor Guard under Divine Victoria (Cass) in order for them both to stay honest. The Inquisition would serve as a perfect check on the Chantry's new power and control and make sure the Divine stayed true to her ideals of subtle change and doing the right thing, while having close proximity to Cassandra would ensure that Kara herself would not become corrupted with either the Inquisition or out on her own. Point number 2 since Kara went out of her way to make her mark on history Thedas is in a much more vulnerable position. Granted a lot of this was not exactly her plan but she disbanded the Templars, she exiled the Grey Wardens, the Chantry is trying to rebuild and reform itself for the new times, the Order of the Seekers is trying to rebuild, as is Orlais from suffering from its massive Civil War. In her mind there would be no one with the option of stopping Solas left on the continent, at least in the South, nevermind convincing him to not go along with his plans.
Nevertheless she recoginises the Inquisition could be corrupted and become the very thing she hopes to avoid, so she does everything in her power to try and limit the power of her Inquisition. She makes it a lot smaller under the Divine, and she goes out and starts forming...I guess morality cells around Thedas. And encouraging them to set up their own cells that she does not know about all in an attempt to lessen her own personal power.

I happily turned it over to Vivienne.
I have many reasons, but probably the best reason is that it's the opposite of what Solas advised, which probably makes it the wisest course-of-action.
Our Inquisition's motto is actually: "SolASS doesn't know what he's doin'."

It was a pretty easy decision for me. My Lady Lavellan romanced Solas. She had her vallaslin removed, and when he went to break things off, she begged him not to stay. Then after the events of Corypheus' death, she had her love just abandon her. Well, cut to two years later, and she finds out that Solas is Fen'Harel, and everything she thought she knew about her culture was wrong. The mark was killing her, and Solas cut off her arm to keep her alive. She practically begged for him to change his mind about the veil (and burning up the world in the process). He left her, and she felt betrayed by him. He would leave her in the world to burn? She returned to the summit with all these emotions boiling in her, and she was quite insulted by the shems (anger anger Miss Lavellan *tsk tsk*) treatment of her when she had done nothing but good for the world. So she was just like "Screw this, we'll save the world without the Inquisition and without you."
Man, the Trespasser DLC was...the best. I think it was worth all the hours I put into the game.

Disbanded, my first inquisitor felt that the inquisition was always meant to be a temporary thing, to be dismantled before it grew corrupt and dangerous. Plus she generally disapproved of religious armies.

Disband. The Inquisition was created for a purpose, as had historically been done once before. As in the past, it needs to disband once its purpose has been fulfilled.
