I've seen both options and their outcomes, but are there any bigger consequences further down the line for either one? I'm wondering which one I should choose in case it affects the story later.
Though, it doesn't make sense that you can save the Angara, kill the Archon, and still keep your word with her and not destroy it.

I saved them, but the Moshae preferred the destruction of the facility.

You don't have the time to do both,you either spend time opening Exaltation pods and freeing prisoners or setting detonation charges,the Kett are mobilising for a counter attack.

Though, it doesn't make sense that you can save the Angara, kill the Archon, and still keep your word with her and not destroy it. I won't read any reply's because I don't want spoilers. For me this is role playing, you shouldn't make a decision like that based on what a game mechanic might or might not do. Your character can not know the future therefor you shouldn't make a decision based on the future but on what kind of character he is. Now maybe if you play the game through again and want to see different outcomes then cool, but the first play through should always be special and any decisions should be based on your character, it is a lot more fun that way Just my opinion

Saved Angara.
Whole point is to save Angara from the Kett. Kett can always rebuild that facility, but you can bring back those Angara in other hand. But oh boy did that shot the shit out of that Cardinal though. Fuck that bitch, you ain't living and exalting more people.

Saved the Angara. The facility wasn't really mentioned that much after that. Least no one accused me of mass murdering Angara.

First play, I destroyed it. No idea the effect of the brain washing if that was the case on the prisoners. Moshae seems to be the defacto leader and was her request.

The whole point of going was to save the Moshae. Someone Jaal honors as a great mind and thinker. Your thinker just told me to blow the shit out this place. Sorry, whine to her. Maybe next time leave her in the box and rescue someone who agrees with you.

Saving the Angara seems like the more politically savy move if you're trying to ally with the Angara. Yes, the Moshae is a respected leader but she seems pretty traumatised. If the Angaran really want the facility destroyed, they can come back and do it with Initiative reinforcements. Know what they can't do? Bring their people back from the dead. Plus the Angaran military protocols are all about saving as many lives as possible.
Because blowing up a bunch of Angara? Even if it's with a kett facility? Total PR nightmare.

Saved the angara. Seemed like the most pragmatic thing to do. One can always come back and destroy the facility another day, but once the Angara are dead or exalted, they're dead or exalted. That was my reasoning at least.
Didn't seem to come back and bite me in the ass in any way either.

Blowed it up because the angara were incapable of even getting inside the shield without SAM's help, so they aren't destroying it on their own anytime soon. Much better to hit the kett where it hurts, destroying their main foothold (and recruit production center) on our cluster.
I still got resistance help in the ending, maybe it was linked to Jaal's loyalty mission.

That was my reasoning at least. Didn't seem to come back and bite me in the ass in any way either. That was my line of thinking as well. The angara at the exaltation facility are scientists, doctors, scholars and such: people that the angara have in short supply so their loss would be even more harder felt had they been exalted. I was also securing Voeld as an outpost and basically doing all the quests so the kett taking back the facility didn't seem likely which left its future destruction a matter of time.

Well, I decided to destroy it because of reasons.
I was doubtful if the Angara really had the capability to come back and destroy the base later if I saved their people. It was more likely the Kett would just resume business as usual and use the facility to "exalt" even more. And as mentioned two posts above me, we only got in because of SAM. Unless they use aerial bomardment, I couldn't see it happening and I don't think the risk was worth it.
What was it Garrus says in the trilogy? "Sacrifice a thousand here, so a million over there can live" or something like that, was the way I saw it.

Destroyed it. It's easier to abduct angara than to rebuild that facility. It was an abomination that needed nuking from space. If a kett begs you to leave her weird cult-place of worship intact so she could continue transforming others against their will, then you know that it needs to be erased.

Yes, I feel bad for the captured angarans but I feel like that leaving that facility intact means more angarans are going to be transformed into kett. In both cases, we lose angarans, but in one instance the angarans turn into our enemies as kett.

I saved the Angara.
Part of it was that Jaal asked me to and I respected his opinion, especially on Angaran matters. The Moshae is too in shock for me to take her request as being clear headed at that point. Jaal is the voice of the Angara I'm most acquainted with and I know he'd seemed like a good, but reasonable person up until that point. Plus, we were friends and I could tell this meant a lot to him. If my friend is pleading with me not to blow up his people, then I'm not going to do that, basically.
The other part is, I plan to take out the Kett entirely, so I feel like it doesn't matter if this building stands in the long term. I have more allies to fight with me for the end goal, which is making sure there's not a single Kett left in Andromeda to run this place. We'll keep fighting until we can take down every one of their bases, but for the moment I was happy to save those lives. I think it isn't as easy as some are thinking for them to gather that many Angara again. This was work they'd done over a long period and while they had the upper hand. The tide of the war is already turning. As we push them back, they'd have less and less opportunity to capture more Angara and we'd have boosted our own numbers for the fight. Seems like a win, for me.

I love the Moshae, but her voice actress is Vivienne in DAI, so sometimes I feel like she's talking down to me the same way Viv did haha but she gets over it later. Even teases me about Jaal.

I hesitated for a few seconds but then I went for saving the Angara simply because this is what Jaal really wanted and I knew I wanted my Ryder to romance him... wasn't going to upset the future boyfriend, especially after making so much progress. I don't know if going against his wishes could ruined my chances of romancing him but I just didn't want to risk it.

The mission was to save the Moshae. You did that. That facility needed to be destroyed. It was no better than the Collector Base. The Angara are willing to die for the Moshae. Let them. For the greater good.

I chose to save the Angara but killed the Overseer. We did a number on the facility and set it back a TON with the damage we caused, plus without someone to run the facility I figured it would take a while for it to start up again by which time the Angara could save their people and probably destroy the place at their leisure.
I was rather surprised at the Moshae's reaction to my decision. I was choosing to save her people when she wanted me to basically throw away their lives for an immediate solution.
