When thinking about who to save, it's important to think long-term. Depending on which class the player chose for Shepard at the start of the game, both might be useful.

Should I save or sacrifice the council?

Weighing the pros and cons, it's best to save the Citadel Council at the end of Mass Effect 1.

Can you cheat in me3?

No, thankfully. Each romance option has a “lock in” conversation. I'm not sure exactly what Kaiden's is but it should be a point where he asks or affirms “so, we doing this?” Once you say yes, all other romance options become locked out and you don't get the romance dialogue with anyone else.
