They thought the doctor would be responsible for the cracks.
So rather than teaming up with the universe's other nasties and building a special inescapable prison, specifically designed to block his personal strengths and ingenuities... one which, no doubt, will prove escapable after all...
why didn't they just shoot him with the bloody big guns each of them seems to have conveniently forgot they all have?

A much better explanation.
Also, however brilliant they think they are, they all know they have been bested by the Doctor on numerous ocasions. Therefore, the best way to get rid of him is to permanently incapacitate.
Dalek guns tend to make the person disintegrate. I doubt he could regenerate from that!
Still, it's the James Bond school of drama.
"Ah, Mr Bond. You've found my lair! Let me explain in minute detail the intricacies of my plan and any potential weak spots. And then, rather than killing you outright, I shall put you in a cell from which you might escape! You'll never stop me!"
Yeah, but you could read "the best way to get rid of him is to permanently incapacitate"
as
"the best way to get rid of him is not to shoot him, destroy his brain* or use up his regenerations, but to lock him away where someone, somewhere, might find him again"
* that might just be zombies, though maybe it works on timelords too
He could come back. The Master was burnt to a crisp and he did. (Twice)
Also, it's quite clear the Alliance are being manipulated somehow. So it's not really their plan - whoever it is in charge will have thought of it.
Tennant was shot by a dalek and regenerated.
Although the real reason he can't be shot is that he isn't Gareth Thomas.
What about my point about the Master, though?
he only has 12 regenerations, unless that is changed somehow, he is currently on his 10th regeneration, they'd just have to kill him twice more and he'd be bye bye doctor.
Well, we have no idea how he survived his apparent death on Sarn, but the Master's most recent resurrection involved outside help and wasn't really that successful in any case. I can't see the Doctor taking that route.
So they say. I don't believe it. What about the Master, how many regenerations has he had? I'm sure its more than 12. Where's Tingramretro when you need him?
So they went with perpetual imprisonment instead.

And always fail.
Time for plan B...
OK, I'm wrong then.:)
Yes, a much more liberal and compassionate response
Exactly - I'm sure the Dracanians had made him an honourary nobleman (or something like that), and the Judoon hardly viewed him as a source of evil...maybe a bit of a troublemaker.

He was made an honorary noble of Draconia by the 15th Emperor.
