On the subject of killing or not killing Ozai, i don't think Aang really had it in him to kill anyone (even someone as evil as Ozai) and it's a lot to ask for a 12 year old. Anyway, Nickelodeon probably wouldn't allow the main character to directly kill someone. The deaths in avatar have been ambiguous (like Jet) and indirect (Chin the Conquerer). Since the issue of killing Ozai was a source of conflict for Aang and an important plot point, i don't think they would've been able to make him kill Ozai and make it ambiguous or subtle. I would prefer Aang using energybending rather than letting him live and having him conveniently die from a falling boulder or something (i see that happen too many times in shows or movies) and rid of any responsibility he had over Ozai's life; since at that time he was too powerful to keep alive while he still has firebending powers.
