Im looking at a mid fat ski likely. I want it for off piste, moguls, groomers, and some powder, as a fairly agressive advanced skier.
have been recommended line prophet 90s and k2 extremes as top choices.
Nordica Hot Rod Jet Fuel and Volkl AC50s also in the mix.

-Are prophets any good for moguls or too stiff?
-are extremes to parky and too soft?
-whats the pick of the pops???

screw the jet fuel and the ac50... way too much money for skis that are just wide carvers... they suck in powder and are not very playful... very 'dead' skis to be on unless you're really into carving...

get something closer related to the prophet 90... anything from 90-95mm wide will do the trick.

I have the 08/09 blends which is not much different then this years model. I have used them for all the kinds of riding you listed above and honestly they fit perfectly into all those categories, except I would really recommend them for a performance mogul ski. If your into skier that wants to ride all mountain, backcountry/ pow stash's,  yet playful enough to slay park .  Defanitely recommend them very sick ski.
