I'd say we should stay in Citadel Space.
Concept: With necessity being the mother of invention, I think they can, after several years (at least 50-something), they could find a way to adapt ship drives for extended FTL, along with advances in navigations technology to pinpoint destinations with better efficiency than the Mass Relays. After a good number of years later, they'd have spread it throughout Council Space. New ships would be built to handle the rigors of FTL with enhanced radiation materials and a network of stations specified to serve ships in the middle of a long FTL journey, such as providing a ground for the ship and letting the crew ashore for R&R.
If I remember correctly, I think the survivors rebuilt the mass relays. Not sure what the time frame on that is, though. Got to love the people of the Milky Way galaxy for loving their crutches. :P
