I think I agree - I prefer the Meryl ending - but I don't think submitting to Ocelot is in Snake's make up (especially when paired with how he just keeps going at the end of MGS4). Snake would die before he gave up. This said, every time I play through the option where Snake does give up it my heart breaks a little when he's blaming himself. It's an insight into Snake's inner world that we don't see a lot of; especially amidst the 'I don't like to waste bullets' bravado that he uses as a front for the majority of the time.
