Forgive me, but I'm not getting one part -- why, from a...say...Forerunner perspective, is it better to destroy all life than to fight the flood "manually", ie kill them w/guns and ordinary weapons? Spite? Or do they believe that there's a better chance for (what? An enlightened civilization?) non-Flood life to own the galaxy if they use the Halo explosion? And why did they allow Flood to survive in storage in Halos after it? So that whatever life survives (humans? Covenant?) could learn from their mistakes? And Flood can't travel through space, can they? Couldn't they evacuate infested planets and exterminate all life on said planets? Especially if they have the technology to kill almost all life in the galaxy? Is it too hard to control the "explosion"?
Sorry if I've got something wrong.

They had to use the Halos becuase they had no other options. They had exhuatsed every other stratgeic option.

And why did they allow Flood to survive in storage in Halos after it?

So that it could be studied.

And Flood can't travel through space, can they?.

Yes they can. In Halo they tried to take over a ship to travel to other planets, and in Halo 2 they captured In Amber Clad and made a slipspace jump.
