Definately agree with Nesh. His daughter was killed by an authority figure, doing the 'right thing' to protect the world, following orders. Infected didn't kill his daughter, humans did. Joel was simply not going to let the same thing happen again. Why should he trust them really?

Also, he owed her his life. He couldn't, with any good conscience, let her die without her agreeing to it. He owed her at least that much.

So then it all comes down to the lie. This is both a selfish choice for Joel, and a protective one for Ellie, giving her some peace and removing her burden of guilt, at the same time, giving him a daughter to grow old with.

Man oh man, struggling for ages with the David chase in the "cabin" chapter .... but its sooo easy ...

Spoiler

after the first attack with the screwdriver, just run to the room behind the kitchen and hide behind the desk, throw a brick on his head and go for the 2nd kill. After the cut scene, he hides after the same stack of boxes, only the other side. Just sneak up and go for it !!!
