Spoiler: Krogan Scouts or Raeka? Why?
And as followup, how did you resolve the choice with Sarissa? I wonder if people feel differently based on the order they made these choices or made them completely separate things. I also just like ...

Went with Raeka as she was the most sensible choice. While i kicked of Sarissa, as that was not her call to make. There is a reason a chain of command exists and Sarissa's role was to protect her pathfinder, not to go out there and let her die. So she abandoned her duty, disrespected a direct order and then proceeded to lie about it. The data she stole was useless as they didnt decrypt it, Sarissa tells this you that she is still decrypting it. A pathfinder is supposed to be someone who is looked upto, even Avictus tells this to you and Sarissa fails to measure up to that requirement. The pathfinders are supposed to be exemplars of their respective species and Sarissa does not measure up by that standard.
There is a reason the original pathfinders represented the best aspects of their species. Alec is an N7 signifying human adaptability and ingenuity, Macen is a Turian military commando leader (Blackwatch) signifying the turians soceity before self attribute, Ishara is a renowned diplomat who represents the Asari and their aptitude at diplomacy and peace and Raeka is a scientist and a dalatrass who perfectly represents the Salarians.
Being a pathfinder is not just about power but about what it represents of your species. So Raeka is a must and Sarissa is not fit for that role period. A person who abandons their own duty and disobeys the chain of command and proceeding to lie about it all while still pretending to be a hero is not a pathfinder.
The above is the same damn reason i hate Liam and i wish we could have removed him from the pathfinder team and Tempest. He makes decisions that he had not right to make and generally his actions amount to treason.
Sarissa acted in the best interest of her people while her pathfinder begged for help,selfishly and at the risk of her people. Sarissa needs a medal.
A good leader in a hopeless situation does not order more people into that situation. Especially if it means abandoning the civilians they are serving.
Iirc, the original asari pathfinder was protecting the sleepers in stasis when she was killed, the makeshift shield generator, remember... Sarissa abandoned her pathfinder for the kett data, and nearly let all the sleepers die.

The negotiation promptly fails, and instead of trying to fight her way to the pathfinder, who (based on Ryder's first contact with the Angara) was alone deep in kett turf, grabs the military data/nav charts readily available and covers the Ark evac. Think 13 Hours, we lost the ambassador, but we aren't going to try and hold the indefensible compound so we can look for him sort of scenario. Again, my read, and I'll be back there soonish so I can double check

As far as I know the whole diplomatic mess was a lie, sarissa created it to cover her *. I don't think we're ever told just how much was fabricated, though considering where the pathfinder's final logs were found, seems to suggest everything was a lie.
