I do Rindge to Rte 2 at Alewife myself -- I find that Rindge moves faster than Mass Ave, and it gets to Alewife so close to Rte 2 that you spend very minimal time in the Alewife maelstrom of suck.
I do, however, completely second that the 16 is an awful way to get to 2 at rush hour. (Great when it works, but it can also take 20 minutes to get from Broadway to 2 if the dice roll against you that morning...the variance is very high.)
