Well personally I don't really think it is necessary to award people for choosing one option or another. I think the best reward for making a choice like this is for the thing you chose to have some impact upon the game. If it's more about the actual impact of the decision you are making rather than what points you will get for making that decision then it is a better decision.
Personally I would do away with the whole morality angle entirely and just have them be choices. There is absolutely no need to attach morality or karma points or whatever to these choices so long as they are well thought through and they have actual perceptible consequences. It will almost definately be more work for games developers and yeah you might need a few different save files to see all the different content, but it will be worth it for more thoughtful choices and more engaging gameplay.
By the way I am not advocating this for all games. Some games have a certain story that they are trying to tell and having to account for this choice and that choice and what-the-fuck-ever would make it damn near impossible to do so. In those cases, I would really not mind if there was not 'the illusion of choice' in the first place.
