Access to Sovngarde when he dies, at the very least. Per Tsun, Shor's more than happy to welcome him back to the realm he saved when his time on Mundus is over.

And he doesn't really destroy Alduin per se. He destroys Alduin's body, yes, but doesn't take his soul. If anything, Akatosh sent the Last Dragonborn to bitch slap Alduin back into place for overstepping his bounds.
