I just finished G2 last night. Tried some different endings---unaligned, Loyalist, and Awakened, all with 0 canister use.
The first ending I did was unaligned. I got a pretty weird result in the ending text.

Finally, you finish telling your tale. Now that you have said it, it seems strangely incomplete, as if you didn’t achieve very much in the mountains after all.
Finally, you finish telling your tale. You describe the destruction of Barzhal and the leaders of the Takers. Much to your relief, they seem impressed.
Seems like possibly a bug to get both of those, since they start with the same sentence. Anyone know what leads to the first paragraph? When I did the unaligned ending, I killed all the folks mentioned in paragraph 2, but didn't sabotage any research facilities or anything that the aligned endings typically ask for. Is that it, maybe?
Also, I'm kinda curious to try a Barzite game, but don't plan on replaying G2 right now. I keep reading around these forums that the Barzites are "awesome." Any particular reason why? Is it just because they're the best faction for powergaming?
