Oh I agree that she doesn't want it. She wants to be the one to 'deliver Brexit' with her deal.
But do I think she'll choose no deal over revocation? I'm convinced of it. She might fuck off Cameron-style and get some ERG person to lead the country into no deal to avoid causing it directly, but I really don't see her advocating revocation (which she'd had to do publicly as it would need to be confirmed by Parliament at the very least).

Right, yeah. I'm not sure how she'd come down on a revoke/no deal decision - sad to say you might be right that she'd go down the party unity route and go for no deal.
Equally she could revoke and blame MPs, she has no problem doing that apparently.
I fear that the motion is too sensible to pass anyway so we might never find out...

Yeah, that would be the expectation, and that's roughly what happened preceding the 29th.
May doesn't want No Deal though IMO. I'm 95% sure of that. She's had an opportunity to take us out with No Deal and she acted pretty rapidly to prevent it. She knows how damaging it'd be to (in order of the importance she places on them) her own legacy, to her party's popularity/electoral prospects and to the country. Scotland would leave, NI would leave, economy would divebomb. She'd cement herself as worst PM maybe of all time.
She likes having it as a big scary cliff-edge to scare people into doing what she wants but that's all.
