It bothers me that that ending is considered the "good" one - the one you have to have the most assets to unlock.

Just to clarify here (not that it really matters, I guess), but the "choice" that requires the most assets is synthesis. Being able to choose destroy actually requires the least amount of assets.

The reason its considered the "good" ending is because of an extra scene that can occur during the destroy sequence if you have uber amounts of assets. Basically, Shepard takes a breath back on Earth. Destroy is kind of interesting because it actually has a few versions of it depending on your assets. If you have few enough then destroy will be your only option and it will actually also destroy Earth along with the Reapers.
