I destoyed it and Miranda was there and quit Cerberus on the spot good thing I didn't want to kill her over it.
Saved it. I had to sit down and think about it for a bit. Then I realized I could not blow up the base if there was even a SMALL chance that there was some vulnerability to the reapers hidden away in there.
Although I want to smack mordin. One minute he says "keep it!" and back on the ship he's like "Very risky. DANGEROUS even! Hope you know what you're doing!"
Also, Tali didn't say a peep about the base, surprisingly.

Maybe it's because I didn't play ME1, but I never understood why no one seems to trust Cerberus and The Illusive Man. Saving it to me seemed like a no brainer, as humanity needs every weapon it can get to fight the reapers. Plus humanity's hope for a future seems to rest pretty well entirely on Cerberus, seeing as everyone else either doesn't care about humanity or has their heads up their asses about the reaper threat. TIM, as creepy as he is, seems to genuinely care about humanity. Plus he's the biggest pimp in the galaxy (nailed like 6 supermodels and an asari in the past week). Just throwing it out there, but he should add a femshep notch on his bedpost in ME3.
I'm really curious as to why Cerberus would be out to kill Shepard in ME3 if he/she decided to save the base... I'm sure that's not the only reason but what would compel TIM to want to kill his 2 billion credit investment even after it handed him prime alien technology on a platter?
That being said, I destroyed the base in my playthrough. I had played honest broker throughout ME2, never really insulting Cerberus and its motives yet never really supporting them either. I listened to what TIM had to say and took it all with a grain of salt. When it came time to choose the fate of the base, I chose what seemed to me the most sane option. We'll see how that plays out in the next game.

If you saved it, do a second play through. Its not that hard, and its actually kind of fun to do things differently than your first play.
Doing anything that the Illusive Man wants is never something that should be done in my books. Ever. Never have done it, never intend to because of how much of a backstabbing jerk that guy is and even before Bioware started revealing too much about ME3. Besides, his reaction to you destroying it is comical.
I saved it, the reapers were coming reguardless, the base provided a massive opportunity and if not it was only one collector base so it hardly presents a decisive threat in the comming fight.
Here's what I personally would do if I was Shepard/TIM
Step 1: Keep base
Step 2: Learn how to build a Reaper (and more importantly, how to control one once it's built)
Step 3: Go to Yahg homeworld and kill all the Yahgs (probably a good idea anyways, as the yahgs are an extremely dicky race that will undoubtedly be a huge threat to human interests as soon as they discover spaceflight)
Step 4: Use Yahg corpses to make a Yahg reaper that is under human/Cerberus control
Step 5: Seeing as Yahgs are enormous, strong and highly intelligent, the Yahg reaper will probably be markedly more powerful than the others.
Step 6: Use Yahg reaper to kill the other reapers
Step 7: ??????????????
Step 8: Profit!!
