What do we need as Rachini?
We need a source of food to allow our colony to grow
We need minerals for production
We need eezo for ships

I am fairly certain on the last two. In which case we should look for a planet that provides those needs.
 
I know it's not gonna win, but my inner Monster Hunter demands it.

And we have no idea what the Geth might get us. For all we know, we're trading Council discovery in exchange for Reaper discovery through the Heretics at best, or we're in danger of just running into the latter straight up. Additionally, there's no guarantee the Geth will even welcome us. The Death World doesn't say its barely got any mineral resources, it says it is "somewhat lacking". We're not going to have issues establishing ourselves there to start. It's also in the Terminus, so any odd vessel we will eventually create and will occasionally be running to another part of the system to mine more minerals is likely to just get overlooked if they seem armed.
 
IMO opening a completely new relay would be best, the confinement of the Citadel is what made the difference between a probably atmost 20 years attrition Asari era compared to the protheans 200+ attrition they pulled off.

I prefer this option as well and there is no guarantee the Geth would want us there, in cannon they are acting as caretakers of Quarian Space until the return of they creators and may treat as no different from everybody else.

While to explore unknown space is very dangerous in this time because we will not be able to defend ourselves if we find ourselves against a hostile species, maybe in the future when we are no longer at risk to go extinct.

...yknow, I shouldn't be as surprised as I am that the Geth option is as popular as it is.

Ah, well. Hindsight is 20 20 and all that lol.

I'm for going big or going home. Literally, it was this or the nearby our home system one as that'd give us potential for quiet infiltration to seek out info from our old home and potential stuff we could make.

If we get the Geth to be buds, we can get a lot of materials quickly to more rapidly build up and join the fight against the Reapers, hell maybe even do something to aid Shepard before the first game concludes!

And they'd know where in their turf would be best suited to us. Not likely to plant us on one of their creators' worlds but somewhere in their domain I expect.

It'd be a fantastic opportunity for them to test out organic interactions in a controlled environment with a limited amount without farther reaching repercussions.
