What’s a polite way to go about this?

At the time given? If not why say anything?
If at the time,
"Thanks for thinking of me and trying to help."
"What an interesting idea"
"Good to know"

Thanks for taking the time to advise. I'll have to think about it. I'm not sure that's the best way to go about it, but again, thank you for thinking of me.

Will they know if you follow it or not? If they won't know just say thanks for your help. If they will know thanks for your help I will explore all my options and figure out my best option.

You asked for advice, not a psak din or a nevuah. Just thank her for her time and expertise and interest in helping you out.

Not every piece of advice fits the needs of the requester. Just ask anyone here!
In your shoes, I'd make my response fit the kind of person whom I was emailing. To someone with a reasonable self awareness, I'd probably say thanks, that won't quite work for me, here's why, but I really appreciated your taking the time to offer your thoughts.
To someone with a thinner skin, I might say, "thank you so much for taking the time to write out your thoughts! I'm still considering the situation, and may make a different decision, but hearing your perspective was still helpful to clarify my own."
To someone who was extremely thin skinned, I might just say, "thank you so much for your perspective, I really appreciate your taking the time."

You gave me a lot of ideas and/or food for thought.
Thanks for that fresh perspective on it/showing me another way to see it
